Hi,

maybe a simple rsync server would do the job for you and for everyone  
else with similar needs (described as "I need a periodic update but I  
don't really need a realtime one").

At our site we mirror a few terabytes of data (genomic repositories)  
via rsync without even noticing an impact of bandwidth usage (as long  
as only a small part of those big files changes every day).

Anyone at RIPE willing to consider this option ?

Ciao,
