Yeah, but that doesn't really solve the case I'm facing now where my  
rsync process completes successfully but the upstream mirror just  
happens to be out of sync.

For now I've solved this problem by switching to a new upstream  
mirror.  While trying to decide who to use, I was looking through MM  
and wondering if it provides a way to visualize the mirror tiers since  
it contains info on what a mirror's upstream is (although that's  
admittedly manually maintained & possibly optional).

Ah, makes sense.  For now I'll just have to remain diligent in making  
sure my content is up to date & rely on my users to notify me if  
there's a problem.

Thanks for your quick responses & all your hard work on MM & the  
Fedora Mirroring Infrastructure in general.
