Yes, this is 4 times, but the 18 & 23 seems rush hour to me, as per
experience. But you can say better then me as you have deal with a lot
of country.

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.

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.

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. Thanks again for your clarification.
