Hi Troy,

Best I can say for time is that the mirror system started its run at
12:00 (noon) GMT on Sunday 2nd Dec and would have got to the SL4.4/32bit
mirror sometime between then and 15:00 depending on load at both ends
and the number of files to transfer.  There would then have been a new
run of lftp on the 4.4/32bit mirror to recover the lost files sometime
after 15:00ish.

Unfortunately the log of the files that were effected has been purged.
However from what I recall, the missing file list included most of:

openldap-2.2.13-6.4E.i386.rpm

There was an rpm starting 'p' deleted too, but I don't recall which one.
