Hi,
I today have a problem as well with metadata being newer than what is available on disk. I wonder whether we should require from mirrors to use rsync with --delay-updates as problems with repository metadata was exactly why we got this feature added to rsync a couple of years ago.
we could gently ask them, require might be a little strong (imho)
We could enforce it from the CentOS mirrors by checking the rsync version and/or options provided to the server. Is something like this feasible ?
one would need to have all the mirrors with >= c5, unless you also provide the needed version on rpmforge for c3 and c4.

shouldn't apt-get do as yum and try another mirror?
mirmon as currently setup has noticed that skynet.be is not uptodate :( but one can not parse all the centos tree..
Cheers,
