The below described procedure is correct (nearly, there is a "-" missing, see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1820.msg10603.html#msg10603 for more details). The mirrors update the date of the files on every check they do unfortunately even if there is nothing new to sync. Unless the filename on the mirrors doesn't change (like rc2 -> rc2a for example) the files are not updated.
