This is a bug which I also observed with ftp5.gwdg.de, recently. We
worked on a fix during last week, and it should be 99.9% fixed since
Monday morning.

A _pulling_ rsync from the site has been stepping on the toes of our
rsync _push_, sometimes, and let freshly synced files disappear.

The two rsyncs have been synchronized somewhat now, in coordination
with the site's admin.

It could principally happen with other mirrors which get the
repositories pushed, but I don't have evidence that any other of those
mirrors pulls via rsync, let alone every four hours. Anyway, I observed
the problem only with ftp5.gwdg.de. 

FYI, except than in this buggy scenario, the redirector does only
redirect to a mirror for files which it has successfully probed on that
mirror before.

Yes, true.
