If only carrying i386 and x86_64, and no debuginfo, it's 39GB. The updates tree for Fedora 8 is another 47GB including ppc and debuginfo, 16GB if not. The releases tree changes only every 6 months (excluding test releases). The updates tree should be synced daily. Budgeting 200GB for Fedora 9 is not too much, especially as we've been growing the releases over time. I expect the full install tree to be 120GB, and over time the updates tree will grow as it has with Fedora 8. We have no public mirrors registered for Sri Lanka, and would appreciate having some. We have only 2 public mirrors in India (presumably where your users are pulling from today).

As for bandwidth required, we recommend no less than 10Mbit/sec, and prefer 100Mbit/sec or higher if available. Often times educational networks will have even higher available bandwidth inside a single university or between universities.
