Here is an misunderstanding. I was trying to say Timezone is vital to create a cron entry. Non only in Brazil, all over the world. > >> The main issue is to use idle time both you and from where you are >> miring. Find out a good mirror near you and change >> 'us-msync.centos.org::CentOS . As Brazil is near to us-msync.centos.org, I suggest her/him to use us-msync and us-msync has a big pool of server & bandwidth. Also advice her to find out a good mirror near her/him and change it to that server. > > No. Absolutely do *NOT* do that, msync.centos.org hands out mirrors > accordingly to where you are. Do not try to only hit one mirror, please. > Thanks for your opinion, I might be wrong. But as you run and work with a lot of timezone and country, sure you have better knowledge then me.
