Hi Bill,

1 person reported a temporary problem yesterday with a download, but when
I checked all the mirrors a bit later, they were all fine.

What *may* have happened is you downloaded a database, while I was
uploading to the mirrors and so the database file didn't matched the
signed file.

I've added an extra option to rsync "--delay-updates" which should have
avoid issues like this.

Let me know if you see the problem again.


You may have noticed that I'm still getting this problem, but not all
the time. It would appear to depend on which mirror I access.
I have set up a test server to fully monitor this issue and I will try
and collate which mirrors are problematic for me.

Bill, you could try these to test all of the mirror sites one at a time:

Run them from an empty directory.  They are all set to use a
"--dry-run", so nothing will be actually be downloaded, but it will show
you what would be download.  Let us know how it goes...

Bill

Well, I've done several of these so far, and they all produce results like

Number of files: 20
Number of files transferred: 19
Total file size: 5597947 bytes
Total transferred file size: 5597947 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 696
File list generation time: 0.038 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 119
Total bytes received: 792

sent 119 bytes  received 792 bytes  260.29 bytes/sec
total size is 5597947  speedup is 6144.84 (DRY RUN)

Also, the production and test servers are now producing valid results again.
Maybe the

rsync "--delay-updates"

change by Steve has got the mirrors in line.

Still monitoring.....
