        We can definitely give it a try. I changed the frequency right
now and will watch the mrtg graphs (subversions.gnu.org/mrtg) & logs
in the next 24 hours. If you can check on your side that it behaves as
expect it would be nice.

        Of course the risk is that we mirror a locked file and that during
an hour the corresponding file is not available. I'm not sure what would
be the easiest way to avoid this problem.

        Cheers,
