actually i think it would be really usefull to have mirroring of metadata
to help on scaling rpm2html.
i don't have the resources now, but i would make a metadata mirror as soon
as i get more disk (yeap, i have 100% too, seems like distributions are
getting really big this time)
i keep a mirror for RedHat (sorry, not too much disk) on Peru, and
rpm2html (on spanish) is really helpfull to help people find the right rpm
by browsing (http://sajino.terra.com.pe/pub/linux/redhat).
i hope i could add "rpmfind" metadata as soon as i get more/bigger disks.

i think i could send a patch for the spanish translation of rpm2html, i
hope i could be more useful.
meanwhile.. keep doing the great work you've done until now, i'm pretty
sure.. community is on their way to backup you and this wonderfull
project.

PS. BTW the "spanish" rpm2html that is on the "mirrors" page is broken, if
you would like, you can link to mine.
