Yes, the actual files with contents. If you check the mirror trees, you
will find that all the Packages.gz|xz and Release and Contents and
whatnot files are symlinks to them.
I'm confused about these files. They are big and change a lot.
Yep, 4 times a day.
Does anyone else ignore them when running rsync?
That would break your mirror, as you would miss out the actual content
of dists/ files.
