[CentOS-mirror] Question about downtime

[Imre Gergely]

and because it's your server, and it's a volunteer job to mirror whatever stuff
you mirror, if you happen to need a little bit of downtime for the server to
work more reliably (security updates, bugfixes etc), that downtime really
shouldn't hurt anybody in the long run :) imho.
