Last night our new method of getting cvd updates showed that it was *one hour* from the time the DNS TXT record claimed a new cvd was available to the time when our quick curl said it was really available!
In particular at 1:03 AM (EDT), DNS said version 24739 was available, but a curl of the first few bytes of the cvd file said it was still at version 24738. It wasn't until 2:03 AM that curl reported that version 24739 was really available for download. Log file excerpt follows.
