That depends on how much of the snapshot traffic is from users vs
mirror sites (all mirrors download snapshots every day), and what
percent of the snapshot traffic is gcc vs binutils, gdb, cygwin, etc.
Cutting the frequency (or size) of snapshots is the only way to cut
down the traffic from mirror sites.

However, pointing away from sourceware's ftp will help.
