OK, so how did you update the files until 16-May-2006?
Can't we recover its procedure?

IMHO because 'ddtp.debian.net' (and i18n.debian.net) isn't official
Debian host yet, it's better to copy Translation data to official
semi-permanent Debian host and let ftp-master takes it from there.
Gluck is maybe the best place for such a purpose.
(hm, /org/ddtp.debian.org/rsync has a similar data, but it's older
than mirror's one ...)

Plus, Debian prefers rsync rather than http for a synchronization.
I think ftp-master will want a sync script is tested well and
guaranteed not making any destruction of other files, if they haven't
it yet.

Thanks,
