I made one last night. I'm currently downloading it over SFTP, but  
it's mighty huge—2.0 GiB. Cyberduck says I have 198 minutes  
(3.23333333 hours) remaining, though that doesn't take into account  
the fact that the download connection drops periodically.

Perhaps, once I have the whole thing, we developers should get  
together a torrent swarm of this thing? ☺

svnsync takes a lot longer, but it may be better for the bandwidth  
bill in the long run, since we can just svnsync sync (basically, svn  
up for repos) in the future.

svnsync is one-way. Keep in mind that you can't commit to the copy or  
it will break svnsync, so immediately tarball it and burn it to a DVD 
±RW or something, then experiment with copies of the copy.
