You don't really gain much syncing that often, the manual is built (at most) once a month and there are new news maybe one or two every other month. The only "advantage" for you is you'll get hundreds of user contributed notes each time you sync. We don't really enforce a hard limit on unofficial mirrors but every time you rsync will slow down the syncing of some of our hundred official mirrors. Bottom line: please only mirror the things you need (doubt you have anything to do with the /distribution directory for instance) and whatever you decide under no circumstances should you sync more than once a day, preferably only once a week. -Hannes
