Do you realize that this won't work? If everyone syncs at the same time and only twice a day it will take days for things to propogate to all the mirrors. Most better mirrors are probably syncing once an hour. Further, the problem you are trying to solve is happening because you're syncing at the same time as the mirror upstream from you. So limiting everyone to sync at roughly the same time would just make this worse. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you." -- Nietzsche
