is quite fast. I also find that it as well as the sunsite mirror seem to be the first to get updated and also the ones that stay the most current. For example the Australian mirror (the one closest to me) is in fact days behind so I avoid it.
Just my 2c worth and hope it helps.

That's 11 deletions - rsync command:

... and NO downloaded files.
Why delete files from mirror before new files are there?

doesn't seem to be any use in doing so again, because nothing gets done.

sunet and sunsite on the link page at mandrake?
