Good article Alexander.

I have a question.  I have a local mirror that I create by rsync'ing 
with a mirror.  This works very well to keep the 4 or 5 FC1 machines 
here updated.  I notice that occasionally I seem to pick up a corrupt 
file from the mirror and I have to delete the rpm and re-rsync with 
another mirror to pick up a good version.  My question is this, do 
mirrors self-correct in that they detect a difference in the file and 
pull down the correct version on their next sync or is it a user's 
responsibility to report it to the mirror's operator?

In my case the kernel source for the 2166 kernal was only 5M (should be 
around 40M) from zeniiia in the UK.

Kind regards,

Mike
