That is right. I show:

11274380        /xtra/whitebox/4

But that number is going to grow.  Notice that the SRPMS trees aren't
populated yet, and neither are the new debuginfo packages in place. 
Plus, be sure to set aside storage for the future as respins and errata
get pumped out at horrifying rates.  While 3.0 started out smaller, at
only 3/3 binary/source CDs full, look at it now:

32538660        /xtra/whitebox/3.0

Holding on finishing the 4 trees while the primary mirrors get caught up
on about 700MB of 3.0 updates accumulated during the period of almost a
month that I let it slide while pushing 4 to completion.

Also note that figure again and let the implications of it set in. 
700MB growth in less than a month for one version of one distro.  Mirror
sites these days have to have really big RAID arrays and fat pipes, so
lets all be sure to thank em for what they are contributing to the open
source world.
