Hi,

I was checking some things in the Debian mirror universe and noticed
a problem with your mirror:

o The tracefile
http://ftp.belnet.be/debian/project/trace/ftp.belnet.be
  suggests that you are not using ftpsync.

  Please use our ftpsync script to mirror Debian.

  It should produce better trace files, and do the mirroring in a way that
  ensures the mirror is in a consistent state even during updates.

Cheers,
Julien

Hello Julien

I've changed our mirror script to use ftpsync instead of simple rsync,
it is currently running, so I guess it will be ok soon.

Change was due to a migration to another ftp server with some
modification in the used tools to mirror.

With best regards,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,
Looks good now, thanks!
One note:

o we recommend mirrors not sync directly from service aliases such as
  ftp.<CC>.debian.org (only http is guaranteed to be available at
  ftp.<CC>.d.o sites).  Maybe change your config to sync from
  the site currently backing the ftp.<CC>.debian.org service you sync
  from?

Thanks,
Julien
