 I should mention things that I didn't before and reiterate others . . .
 
 1) I am committed to maintaining this service
 2) At the moment, I have a ~300G hard drive devoted to it (and willing
 to devotre more, in the future)
 3) I have a DSL (high-speed) connection

i'm not sure what kind of outbound speeds your dsl connection is
capable of, but the old second level mirror rt.fm saw spikes of up
to 80mbps and a constant 20mbps outbound for many days around each
release time.

First, I must apologize for the rather hasty OP (copied below . . . as 
well as the appreciated dev endorsement). 

Second, after setting up the ftp mirror, I did some further hacking 
and would like to make avaliable not just the ftp mirror, but also an 
http and rsync mirror as well.

Thus, the following are avaliable to the public and a mention on the ftp
page would be nice/appropriate/helpful.

ftp://ftp.lambdaserver.com/pub/OpenBSD
http://ftp.lambdaserver.com/pub/OpenBSD
rsync://ftp.lambdaserver.com/

1) I am committed to maintaining this service
2) At the moment, I have a ~300G hard drive devoted to it (and willing
to devotre more, in the future)
3) I have a DSL (high-speed) connection
4) now I'm just kissing ass

Thanks!

 Well neal, hopefully my partners in crime will get you on the ftp page
 - as for second level, we usually reserve that for sites
 with two special properties:
 
 1) They need to be able to reach the Univesity of Alberta where the
 primary fanout site is over Internet 2 - this ensures releases
 get there fast and don't cost the university more money on their
 commercial internet link.
 
 2) We need an openbsd developer involved in the mirror, so we have a
 nearby throat to choke if something goes awry..
 
 Having said that just another decent mirror still does us good service
 - what with the new mirror picking stuff in 4.6 we expect more load on
 the mirrors, so it's nice to have more of them.

  I am maintaining (and intend to continue to maintain) a full oBSD mirror
  in Chicago. I have a ~300G hard drive devoted to it. At the moment,
  I have 4.5, 4.6, snaps, and the non-release/snaps stuff.
 
  ftp://lambdaserver.com/pub/OpenBSD
 
  I'd like to support oBSD by making the availability of this mirror more
  widely known on the ftp page. Also, I am willing and able to be a 2nd
  Level mirror, if that is something you guys would be interested in (I
  would happily devote more hardware, if such a request were made).
 
  Thanks,
