Looking at the recent log files, the latest one has finished is 23:26 BST

I'd go for mirroring after midnight.

BTW when an rsync run from master is in progress, a file:

  Archive-Update-in-Progress-open.hands.com

is created in the debian/ directory --- If it's there, you're too early.

If you get the impression that the uk mirror really is getting out of sync, 
mail me, describing the symptoms and I'll try to track down what's occurring.

Cheers, Phil.
