<p><span class="rss:item">There were some troubles on our servers which made it impossible for our mirror maintainers to synchronize. The Ibiblio support team assures us that everything is running OK

now. Remember that you have to use a command similar to the following in order to start the synchronization process:</span></p>
|
|
<p class="command c2">rsync <tt class="option">-avz --delete</tt> <tt class="parameter"><i>ftp.ibiblio.org::ldp_mirror</i></tt> <tt class="filename">/your_path_to/LDP</tt></p>
|

<p>In January, all maintainers will be contacted again to check that their mirror and contact information is still up to date and that their mirrors are running in sync.</p>
