Correct; to avoid that for R14 I had changed two things:
1.) I started synchronizing large packages that would not change from the
RC to Final (such as the l18n files) weeks in advance of the final R14
builds.
2.) I created a new mirroring redirector that falls back to the master
server if a file is not present on the mirror system. This allows us
(theoretically) to release even if the mirror synchronization is at, say,
98% complete instead of having to wait for 100% completion.
Unfortunately this still wasn't enough judging from the mailing lists.
The issue in this cycle was our primary mirror re-downloading each file at
least twice, thereby wasting at least 50% of the TDE project's upload
bandwidth. Needless to say I am working on replacing that mirror.

Give it a
couple weeks to mirror. Right now we are having some issues
with our primary mirror (see the threads by Mike Bird on this list),
and
the financial state of the project cannot support
a high bandwidth to
upload them faster.
Weeks?!?
Sorry about the delay; I wish I could improve the
speed but external
factors impose constraints as always. :-)
I would have thought minimal QA was to ensure all mirrors were ready
before
pushing the official announcement. Carts and horses and all that.
