This is already done to some extent, in that mirrors are checked nightly that they are still "current". If they aren't current, they don't get on mirrors.lst, and setup.exe doesn't offer them. However, they do get some slack, as they can't always be expected to have everything within 24 hours, for example. Cheers, David -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
