it is there as well, hdu started the synch when the bits where ready on the Apache server for some further testing purposes (especially upload performance). And of course to have them in place in time for today. It was probably a little bit early but independent where we upload the bits they will be grabbed immediately. Which is not necessarily bad if they would do their job a little bit better ;-) There was no official release announcement.
