The content is not all that compressible, I ran it through a few:

So at best you can shave off half a gigabyte by feeding the tar through
compression.
You can grab the files from my machine as well:
http://www.yog-sothoth.ch/tmp/vt100.net_mirror.tar.lzma
http://www.yog-sothoth.ch/tmp/vt100.net_mirror.tar
It sits on a reasonably fast pipe.
Kind regards,
Alex.

So on casual inspection, the main thing missing seems to be the /mirror
tree. I have a mirror of /mirror (!) from 2005 that might serve as a
stopgap. I've placed a tarball of it at:
http://yagi.h-net.msu.edu/vt100.net_mirror.tar
File is just over 11 GB. I don't have an organized place to host this;
perhaps the new manx project can do something?

Great! At least something is out there :)
I have begun downloading this (for my own use). It will take about 2-3
days. Is there a chance you could gzip it as well? Or perhaps the
contents is already compressed?
