Of course you are right regarding my statement and I should have been more modest with my words and claim - but indeed I've stored a backup named .bak in the mirror directory without thinking about rsync that obviously deleted the file during it's next scheduled sync that same night - BUT I've tried 3 different local mirrors to sync with before making this claim and as of today the file and checksum I find on my disk and local mirror indeed is the same I have checking the same file from a freshly downloaded NetInstall.iso - the same you do: 693a52b00ac5a6d2e6e2a645352a3c2649578c5f (checked using sha1sum) But friday night it was not! But let's stop to worry about that now and I'll choose my words a little wiser next time. Best regards and thank you trying to confirm this issue nevertheless.
