It would save recourses for them - the load wouldn't hit their external
interfaces and lines. I doubt they pay per-use for their external
bandwidth, but I do know that the choke points on most of my downloads are
external to their net, so it would lighten the load for other users.
I'll fire off a note to support. Anybody else on RoadRunner want to request
mirroring the iso's?
