Check for 24.10 is way tooooo fast

[Quantum Mirror]

The situation is getting funnier.

Today I looked at the status of the archive mirrors and found this:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

> RWTH Aachen University http ftp rsync 20 Gbps Up to date

which is very funny, because the server has not updated the ubuntu 
archive directory for almost a month now - as announced by the mirror 
administrator in advance - and the trace file status on the mentioned 
server is 2024.09.21 .

How reliable is this whole monitoring system? And how many users will be 
redirected to package servers that are not up to date?

As a side note, I also suspended the synchronization of ubuntu cd's at 
the time in solidarity with Aachen University.

Cheers,

Peter
