The plan is that "download.fedoralegacy.org" will be it's own box, capable 
of handling all the bandwidth.  I'm building a single opteron server, w/ 
512 megs of ram and a 80gig IDE software mirror.  The total bandwidth used 
isn't so much the issue, more of rsync killed the CPU on the current box, 
and the bandwidth used is making other services on this system lag.  The 
dedicated box is about a week out (I hope) so I don't want to cut over to 
somebody, then cut right back.
