One thing I can chime in on here is that the mirror folks sure do like
the idea of uploading to a staging area then copying to the desired
location. It benefits their server side scripts to do this since an
upload could take much longer time than a server side copy operation.
I'm not sure how rsync handles partially complete uploaded files, but I
know the signature scripts Henning is running via cron will generate an
md5 for a partial file. Then when you upload your md5 they clearly don't
match. Though this is a shortfall of his script, uploading to a staging
area just seems more robust in the long run.
Good to know, thanks. Right now we are focusing on downloading jars from a
pre-populated repository (kindly managed by folks such as yourself. :-)
