I'd be happy to provide dedicated server in my datacenter for mirror of
spf site and point the domains I registered few days ago there. But I'd
like to make certain setup is such that it requires little or not human
intervention once its done and can function for a long time (at least one
year otherwise setting it up is not worth it).
As such SPF webmasters should make the requirements clear include in
that amount of space required and software supported and thereafter
work under assumption that for some period of time whatever SPF webiste
is, it has to be such that it fits within those originally setup
requirements (and not only what is installed on the official system
running primary spf site).

I'm interested in running a site mirror. Any idea how much disk space

Right now, we are using 1.2GB of disk space, but that includes the OS
and both a tar file of the website, and an unpacked version of the
website. I expect that once we start working on the new website, our
usage will increase. Ditto if we move any of the bug tracking
services, mailing lists or the spf-council wiki over to the official
SPF website.
Let's be safe and say "at least 10GB". (Yeah, as if that is a serious
amount now a days.)
The bandwidth usage is not clear. Meng says that spf.pobox.com
doesn't even get 1hit/sec and the "usage is quite low".
I could set up rsync or wget to pull in
changes and post them on the mirror, no problem.
I think you would need to use rsync in order to get the mason source
for the current website. rsync would, of course, be needed if we are
going to mirror other things as well.
Thanks for asking about the requirements. I should have said so up
front.
