No, it won't do that. I had Red Hat 6.0 as first mirror in Europe, announced that and the amount of downloaded stuff was ~150GB that night. The machine was not very busy, so really this cannot stress the machine, at least as long as the server is located in the Czech Republic. Also, my pipe to the Internet is just 155Mbps ATM from the switch, so the test has to be done locally.
