Perhaps not it can be figured out by doing 'ls -l' on the directories
of interest ... but some one who has done a mirror can give the answer
from his/her local system.

Going by your suggestion  I tried

                      ftp  ftp.iitm.ac.in

gives me anonymous access to the system but the 'ftp help' client does
*not* display any  du command.

Perhaps you have a shell login in to ftp.iitm.ac.in?  Or do you use
some specific ftp client that has the capability to size a 'remote'
dir?  If so - please share that here.

Thanks but I did *not* ask for openBSD and I am *not* interested in
the openbsd mirror size.

Read the list guidelines if there is any doubt in your mind.  And
please don't give excuses for your Gmail composer, as many have given
you help on this list on how to compose properly.
