I know it's probably not possible for this release, but in future would it be possible for mirrors to download the tree early and perform a bitflip/symlink sync at release time? (similar to OpenSuSE and Fedora).

That is what is meant to happen .....

Timestamp on mysync-dvd appears to be over 30 hours behind us-mysnc making many sites at http://mirror-status.centos.org/ seem behind when they are not. (The mirror page says only 66 out of 202). Is this on purpose or is mysync-dvd behind?

For msync as well as msync-dvd or just msync-dvd?

There is nothing stopping anyone syncing from msync - I have never wanted to serve the DVDs so just sync my mirrors from msync.

Should mirrors be using msync-dvd regardless?

Not all mirrors can handle > 2gb files, so it is up to the mirror operator where the desire to sync.

Also, we have limited bandwidth, so we have to update the msync-dvd servers manally (as we want to limit who rsyncs these from us).
