Making a mirror for artix with a home NAS and 100Mbps connection

I am at last making my NAS/media server. I like artix so far and since it is much smaller community there are also not so many mirrors as with arch for example. This is why I thought that even a not perfekt mirror would help the one or the other artix user.

My server will have the typical NAS purpose home cloud for personal documents. Additionally it will be my own media streaming service, maybe game servers, VMs for testing, maybe a matrix server once I come to it.

I have plenty of storage for the repositories. A Ryzen 5 5600X. A 2.5Gbps network card. However my dsl bandwidth is only 100Mbps

So given my workload and bandwidth would you recommend setting up a mirror for artix? I would really like to contribute but I am concerned that running such a mirror would negatively impact the performance of my server. I could limit the bandwidth for the mirror but does it make sense to make one in the first place then?

Where in the world is this? Is 100Mbps your upload speed?

No, download. Upload is somewhere between 40 and 50 Mbps. It's west Germany.

The upload speed is what's important for hosting a mirror. 50 Mbps sounds low but I don't know what's standard for the region.

@PatVax Thanks for your support, but the upload speed is just too low. It won't affect the performance of your box in any measurable way, but it'll suck up all you bandwidth. Plus, for such services a static IP is almost of the essence.
