I know the mirror admin of one of the tier-2-Mirrors. His box runs RedHat, and mirrors Redhat, SuSe, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, kernel.org and a bunch of other sites, and he uses plain rsync. I am not even sure whether ftp2.de.debian.org even pulls tricks to mirror the pool first and dists last. >And does it not allow already to mirror only woody or >only some arches ?

I hope so, but our ftpmasters seem to be committed to reduce archive sites by completely dropping arches. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
