Ok, http://mirror.rosalinux.com/openmandriva/ is almost synced. Feel
free to check and use.
An important question - who is responsible for generation of mirrorlist
files (that is, *list files in openmandriva2013.0, openmandriva2014.0
and cooker folders)?
Currently these files contain only abf-downloads and this is not good,
long time ago we came into agreement not to use abf-downloads as a
mirror for ordinary users.
Could you update content of that files and use some other mirror instead
of abf-downloads? E.g., yandex or Polish mirrors. Using of
mirror.rosalinux.com is not desired, since it shares internet connection
with ABF.

Time stamp is not used to know since how long the repos has been
updated, but what is the time difference between now and the time file
that can be read on the mirrors.
BTW if you already know how is interpreted time file by mirmon, excuse
me :) I explain this just in case (I did not know myslef how it works
few months ago :)
The fact is that this file is grabbed from the master mirror to the
other mirrors, but mirmon don't know where is the master mirror.
Imagine there is no package publishing during 10 hours, the timestamp
would be 10hours old, and if a slave mirror is updated each 8 hour, it
could be marked as 18 hour later.
The problem with irregular time files is that it's difficult to know
how often slave mirrors are updated.
For now, mirmon check routine is launched three minutes after the time
file is generated on ibiblio, this way, we can have a quite good
estimation of the update rate of each servers:
http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mm/
It's why I'm really in favour of a simple hourly task :p
WDYT?
