Run it often and resync every 12 hours too.
I thought you should only sync once every 24 hours to limit network
costs and stress for the mirrors.
From the motd of todays sync:
"Please note: common gentoo-netiquette says you should not sync more
than once a day. Users who abuse the rsync.gentoo.org rotation
may be added to a temporary ban list."
AFAIK, that limitation is enforced for rsync.gentoo.org only.
I personally use a non *.gentoo.org servers for syncing. Much much
MUCH faster for me, by a factor of 2 or 3.
Rgds,
There used to be a server that allowed unlimited syncs. As far as I
know, that was the only one and it changed from unlimited to once a day
a year or so ago. Unless the MOTD says it is unlimited then I would
think it is once a day. Once a day has been the rule ever since I
started using Gentoo. Unless there is a problem with the tree, I don't
understand why anyone, except a dev maybe, would need to sync twice a
day. Heck, I sometimes go two or three days and still have nothing to
update.
