Do what?  Mirror the data, or run a FTP server?

You may or may not save bandwidth by doing it.  When you mirror the
updates, you are likely to download a ton of stuff you don't need or
have installed on any of your boxes.  But it can be more convenient if
you mirror the data in a cron job when nobody is using the internet.
