Mirror Size

How big is the Debian archive?

Numbers on this page are from the archive as of March 2008.

the whole thing: Roughly 335 GB.
architecture independent packages: Roughly 28 GB.
a released architecture (from oldstable, stable, testing and unstable): Ranging roughly from 18 GB to 25 GB.
an unreleased architecture: Anywhere between 2.5 GB and 14 GB, but growing.
sources: About 43 GB.

Note that the archive is constantly growing; testing will grow especially as a release approaches. Also, we do not recommend reducing size of a mirror by excluding specific distributions; exclude specific architectures or even sources instead.

How big is the Debian CD archive?

The CD archive varies greatly across mirrors — the Jigdo files are around 100-150 MB per architecture, while the full DVD/CD images are around 15 GB each, plus extra space for the update CD images, Bittorrent files, etc.
