Question about using rsync often (seeking recommendation)

Hello everyone,

Currently I am using rsync every 24 hours but I would
like to synchronize more frequently. Every hour seems
reasonable and is mentioned in the mirrors archives.
Any recommendations?

Can someone also recommend a good web statistics
program?

webalizer-2.01 is currently installed on my machine.

IDEA : I think it would be useful if we synchronize
all the web statistics from all the mirrors.
Additionally if the statistics were generated by
geographic location apache would know which packages
are in demand and where.

Thanks,

Phil

We use awstats here for our mirror.

Every hour seems excessive.  I think every six hours would be the minimum
I would see as reasonable.  Also, make sure you are syncing only with
apache-dist, since other rsync repositories change much more frequently,
and will therfore cause excessive bandwidth utilization.

We have been considering collecting some mirror statistics.  But getting
them from all mirrors would probably be too difficult.  Rather, we may
just get a sampling and do some extrapolation to estimate total usage.
