Not only that, but using the command to only pull 6 means you miss out on the TIME and timestamp.txt files. If you miss those, then your mirror will be marked as out of date, and quickly disabled.

that should work - you will have to try it though - bear in mind that when 7.x comes out you would have to update your mirroring command if you want to only mirror 7.x
using http to mirror is inefficient and is frowned upon heavily because of the load it generates on the servers you mirror from. using rsync on this scale is most efficient and rsync is actually the most common mechanism for mirroring

Hi! I would like to setup a centos mirror but only with centos 6 data. Would be enough to use http://eu-msync.centos.org/centos-6 ?
is it ok a command like: rsync -avSH --delay-updates --delete $remote_dir $mirror_dir
where remote-dir is rsync://eu-msync.centos.org/centos-6 ?
is there a way to use a http mechanism? (i imagine that eu-msync.centos.org is an alias to the closest mirror and most often the http is used and less rsync)
Thanks! Adrian
