Hello Alex, The space requirements will vary greatly not only on which assemblies you are going to mirror, but also which tracks.
There are arguments to use with rsync that can help you build size estimates. Please see help here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/mirror.html Flat files are the smallest, however once loaded into the mySQL database, they would be the same size as the mysql binaries available for rsync. It is your choice whether to download files and then load or to load the binaries directly into your database. The files for /gbdb only come as flat files (are not loaded into mySQL, but are referenced by the database). Don't forgot to consider the size of the source cvs tree and other support databases (hgCentral, hgFixed). The link above will has pointers out to documents that will link you to the rest of the mirror documentation online, although it is highly recommended to use the README files throughout the kent source tree for specific instructions. Using both together can help - follow the summaries for a global perspective, then use the README files for exact commands/settings/troubleshooting.
