Thanks for the initiative.
The GRASS community will appreciate your efforts.

Currently around 650MB.

There should be no security issue for you if you synchronize your site
with 'rsync' as you are only reading. There is no other option,
we consider 'rsync' to be secure when using the latest version.

What is the question? I have yesterday update the page
 http://grass.itc.it/grass.mirrors.html

No restrictions given.

Please notify us when the mirror site is running.
