Yep, while there are a bunch of svn hosts most of them probably aren't setup for binary-heavy stuff, let alone in the gigabyte range, and the bandwidth is going to be a killer. I'd say with that kind of constraints LAN is pretty much the only option (plus it avoids the overhead of ssl), so he'll have to admin his repo in all cases.
