I'm had the same idea time ago, why not host a mirror of Debian or something smaller and searching found this one:

http://www.dreamhost.com/unlimited-policy/

citing:

"What’s not allowed in “Unlimited”?

Basically, sites whose essential purpose is to use disk or bandwidth.

When making a website, you should be thinking about “How can I make an interesting site for my visitors while minimizing my server storage, bandwidth, file system, memory, and cpu impact as much as possible?”

The result will be a better experience for your visitors, your web host, and yourself!

Here are some specific examples of things not allowed:

Copyrighted content to which you do not hold usage or distribution rights.

File upload / sharing / archive / backup / mirroring / distribution sites.

A site created primarily to drive traffic to another site.

Making your account resources available (whether for free or pay) to the general public."

Bold marking are mine.

I was thinking hosting video archive is not something you can do on a 10USD month shared account, but Dreamhost uses Debian as infrastructure, maybe a more direct contact with them could negotiate a local deb mirror and|or video... I would be happy with any, also I tried to contact them for Debconf funding, but the only answer I got was that my mail was forwarded to the management, don't really do much follow up, but something can result from that, :D as I'm also hosting my personal sites on DH.

Could be useful get in contact with http://mirrors.kernel.org/?

Regards.
