40G is quite small. Is that only one repo, one architecture, one release?

ISO images for current releases. ISOs for other distros, so they get
some choice.

As others have suggested, a dump of wikipedia.

A dump of help.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com/community ?

Help yourself to any screencasts at http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ and
perhaps some from http://showmedo.com - they have lots of tutorials

given the right codecs).
