Finding Indian mirrors for Fedora

We are building a Fedora mirror in NIT Hamirpur
(http://fedora.glug-nith.org/), but I do not think that we have enough
bandwidth to become an official mirror. The institute has a 10 Mbps (=
2 + 8) leased line, and they plan to reserve 1Mbps for the server
hosting the mirror in the near future. A bit of haggling can even
extend it to 2 Mbps, but that is a far cry from the official
requirement.

Similar is the story of WBUT in West Bengal.

The issue is not with hardware (the NIT Hamirpur mirror runs on a
quad-core PPC64 server with 7.5GB RAM), but with bandwidth.
