If you have more than a few clients it might be a good idea to have
your own private mirror. Then, if your upstream mirror has a
temporary problem your private one will be a little bit out of date,
but your clients won't notice. And your clients will get a faster
response, too.
Regarding load on mirrors: How many clients do you need to put a
similar load on a mirror like a mirror sync?
