Well, yes..
Actually, my mirroring script does auto-deletion but slowly:
never more than a few hundred files at a time

In the mean time, I have
 - changed my mirror script to *NOT* delete anything for now
 - rsync'ed (-u: do not overwrite newer) 
   a backup of web/packages/ from  2011-12-29 12:20:29

This has recovered 76 Mega bytes already..
Now indeed,  the CH mirror should contain a full web/packages/
again,
i.e. --  http://cran.CH.r-project.org/web/packages/
which is  http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/web/packages/

should again be fully loaded.

Presumably this will propagate to the mirrors shortly, as well, if it
has not happened already.
