Roberto,

Thanks for your offer but I don't think it will fix the issue that our mirror is experiencing since I believe it is related to the permissions on the new directories prior to a new official release.

Below is a what I saw prior to the release of 4.8 back in August.

rsync: opendir "/4.8" (in centos) failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1505) [generator=3.0.6]

If interested, you can pick the mirror from our site ESnet (
http://linux.mirrors.es.net) which mirrors directly with Centos master and
also has access to I2.

Cheers,
Roberto
