Ah, that is why yesterday's cron job said someting about "opendir(sid):
Permission denied" :)

A couple of things regarding that:
I think we would have greater availability if you would do the kind of
hardlink-trick that the official debian setup uses. That way the rsync
won't start by deleting the woody isos and then downloading them in full
to another name. Since we seem to get about 70K/s it will take most of
today to sync everything.
We will also run out of space after the sid images have managed to sync.
(We only had about 4 gig left or so.) We are contacting our disk sponsor
about this, and hopefully we'll get another nice disk.
We might manage to find some temporary storage (borrow a couple of disks),
I'm looking into that right now. Hopefully it will be solved today. This
would mean some small downtime of course, but it shouldn't be more than
15 minutes.
Ah, the potato images was moved and the symlink doesn't point to a place
that exists over here, would it be safe in the future to copy symlinks as
the files/directories they point towards?
Since we are going to run out of space soon, I don't think that a full
mirror of ftp.fsn.hu would be a good idea. ;)
I hope I don't come across as complaining or anything, it is great that
these cd-images exists. I'm just trying to make them more available. :)
