Especially "no time" doesn't seem to make any sense.
no time means that there is a 404 or the timestamp file
isn't there.
So that's "timestamp not found"
hangs means the site times out.
Oh, so that's "network timeout"
renewed means that the probe has checked the site during
the last run.
Doesn't it check every site every time it runs?
Nope, that is why that column exists. For example, it says "last
probe...1 hour ago" or "last probe...renewed" if it happened during the
last hourly run. :)
The gentoo-portage mirrors get checked during every hourly run because
the freshness interval is smaller (30 minutes).
It isn't a perfect tool, but it does give users/dev/mirror-admins a
quick graphical view of the state of the mirrors which we think is worth
having.
