A few mins ago I switched to try the rsync://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/ mirror (it notionally being closer I thought it might be useful), but fetching from it resulted in it deleting a bunch of files (.rpmmacros etc) and updating rather a lot of files. I killed it after 124 of them had been changed: ...<snip>... 305/SRPMS/vendor/errata/GFS-6.0.2-12.src.rpm 1668654 100% 1.08MB/s 0:00:01 (123, 0.9% of 13731) 305/SRPMS/vendor/errata/GFS-6.0.2-24.src.rpm 1931706 100% 1.76MB/s 0:00:01 (124, 0.9% of 13731) rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(163) Trying again from rsync://rsync.scientificlinux.org/scientific/ restored the missing files and changed the others all back (I can't tell if it actually downloaded them all or not)... ...snip... 305/SRPMS/vendor/errata/GFS-6.0.2-12.src.rpm 1668654 100% 2.02MB/s 0:00:00 (123, 0.9% of 13738) 305/SRPMS/vendor/errata/GFS-6.0.2-24.src.rpm 1931706 100% 2.13MB/s 0:00:00 (124, 0.9% of 13738) ... Maybe I should have tried a different mirror! Does anyone have a simple way to test if a mirror contains consistent sets of files? I suppose I could run rsync in test-mode... -- Jon
