Using Jigdo http://atterer.net/jigdo/ could help reduce the amount of
data needed to be stored by the mirrors for a re-spun CD/DVD ISOs. It
reduces the amount of data to be downloaded if the user already has the
original ISOs.
It also allows enables other things like making a set of CD ISOs from
the RPMS on a DVD ISO (or the reverse).
I see it has just been added to extras-devel if anyone wants to try it out.
