I'd second this motion :)

i guess this is something not easily achievable without using mirror manager?

which reminds me, where did mirror manager get to, i know its been talked about but could solve a *lot* of mirror management headaches if it gets done ---

We see that quite often - especially lately.

I believe there are several machines providing the rsync service (or several mirrors) - why not expand the coverage to other mirrors that offer rsync (and whom keep up to date)? We offer rsync as a mirror and don’t see a lot of activity - a few other mirrors it looks like.

Looks like centost5 is hitting its limit:

msync.CentOS.org rsync service (centost5)

This service is intended for the sole use of the CentOS worldwide mirror network to synchronize mirrors.

Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public CentOS mirror use a mirror listed at http://centos.org/download/mirrors

If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the notes at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors

If you do use this service then it is implied that you are providing a mirror for public use and giving us authority to publicise such mirror.
