[CentOS-mirror] How often to synchronize mirror?

Hi Valeri,

Every 6 hours is MORE than enough.

If you sync from Tier 1 Mirror every 6 hours, you will find that you will be keeping up to date with all content.

Cheers

Dear All,

I run public mirror (bay.uchicago.edu), and today I have noticed that
the status page

https://mirror-status.centos.org/

shows in red it is not in sync for 5 hours, or so. It's been quite some
time ago when I first installed it, and that time decent practice was to
sync 3 times a day (about once every eight hours). More often was
assumed to overwhelm higher tier source.

What is good practice these days: how often it is OK to synchronize
mirror? I changed sync to every other hour (once I notices it shining
red on mirror status page). Is that OK, or that will overwhelm higher
tier mirror?

Thanks a lot for your advises!

Valeri
