Personally, I'd rather not mirror it, but our bandwidth is almost
completely saturated 17-19 hours/day, so if I (or any other local
Debian-using people) want to get security updates during the day, a
local mirror updated nightly appeared to be the easiest option.
What are my other options -- I have frequently had timeouts trying to
make updates from security.debian.org during the day. Assume the
people in charge of managing our bandwidth are doing all they can, and
the saturation problem isn't going away anytime soon.
