Way smaller. Like 180GB or something like that I don’t remember exactly. But I didn’t do the full mirror I just did source and non-freefirmware and stuff like that. I can check my mirror update command when i get on my desktop to see exactly what I did. I have a script that has it in there.

I use mine for pulling packages because I want it to work without internet. I just keep a USB stick with the installer to install the distro from and then would point my sources to the local mirror and update it for an installation. That’s not really my use case tho since it’s more something to help me maintain my existing installation and always have any packages I might want. Not meant to be a full backup. So yours being bigger does make some sense.
