 Running a MacPorts mirror will use a possibly significant amount of bandwidth. Our primary server in California, for example, serves around 250GB of data via http and another 70GB of data via rsync per day. For http traffic, MacPorts chooses the closest mirror automatically, so how much traffic your mirror sees depends on the number of MacPorts users for whom your mirror is the closest. Ensure you have the permission of your network provider to run such a mirror, and that this amount of traffic will not be a problem for you.
 
-You'll need a server with at least 1TB of available disk space on a case-sensitive filesystem. You'll need a web server on port 80 such as Apache httpd or nginx on which you can configure new virtual hosts, and the rsync daemon running on port 873. The server should have a hostname and a static IPv4 address. IPv6 access is welcomed but is not required. The server does not need to be running OS X and does not need to have MacPorts installed.
