Sorry just to follow up here. I checked at what we were doing, we're already looking a day behind and we're still experiencing 404s.
Nothing has changed in how we are consuming the package indexes and packages. Files seem to disappear at times and return? I'm curious if it's possible the security snapshot mirroring infrastructure could be experiencing higher than normal load (or another issue) and is behaving at less than 100%?
No, the data replication is currently async so there's no signal of it being
"done".
Cheers,
Julien
