    8 The synchronization of the ISOs like the repository is made by rsync+ssh. This means that all is required is '''ssh''' login access, and to have '''rsync''' installed.

    10 It is also required of course to have a subdomain created that points to a specific dir (this dir is your choice), like ''http://elive.yourdomain.com'' or ''http://elive.isos.yourdomain.com'', it is not really important which names or directories you chose, just to have them ready :)

    1616We don't have actual download numbers, but keep in mind that if you don't have one of these ''supa-nice-bandwidth'' that you will never use that much, just forget the idea. There are many downloads of the ISOs. Do not be scared, the max. bandwidth used for ''icedslash'' in a month was '''150 gb'''
    1717
    18 The size needed to store the ISOs will vary, actually was never been more than 5gb of storage (think about some isos in a directory), but if the limit is set to 10gb could be nice :)

    26 There you will need a lot more space. The repository size is approx. 50 gb. If you own a very good hosting with very good speed and very good bandwith, you will be able to mirror the repository too :). The '''only real requirement''' of this is that you will own a long-time hosting, because we don't want to have in the future a broken repository that will not work anymore on your ''sources.list'' (in any case, should be fixed by changing the DNS)

    2828The special requirement of this is that you will be able to add a subdomain of a domain that you don't own, for example ''asia.repository.elive-systems.com'', you don't own the domain ''elive-systems.com'' but your mirror needs to accept this address in order to understand the redirect from the real domain.
