Right and some Servers hosting /debian-security/ are some days behind. I can not use rsync because I have a different directory structure AND I do not want to kill one of the security mirrors of debian, fow often should I poll the Packages.gz/Sources.gz for changes daily? Please note, that my own update script does: 1) Download Packages.gz/Sources.gz and check for changes 2) Create list of files to download 3) Download the stuff 4) Delete old packages localy 5) create new Packages.gz/Sources.gz I have encountered this works faster and more effectiv then using rsync. Currently I poll <ftp://security.debian.org/> only once a day.
