Looks like the sync on both machines had hung. I don't know if that's a
network issue, or an issue at one end or the other. Eventually our "sync
reaper" script notices and kills the sync which lets another start. That
happened for copernicus already, but kuiper was still hung - I've kicked
it now so it'll catch up soon.

The two servers sync independently. Whilst this
is not an ideal
situation, and can lead to them having slightly out of step content,
it's the simplest approach and requires the least development and
maintenance work. In theory they should sync within an hour of each
other, so the likely reason for them to have different files for an
extended period is that one of them is failing to sync. Obviously this
is something that's quite easy to investigate at the time, but
impossible to work out later. So if you see this please let us know at
the time so we can see why it's happening.
The primary mirror daily report issued an hour ago included this:
0 files missing from copernicus.mirrorservice.org::trinitydesktop.org/
33495 files missing from kuiper.mirrorservice.org::trinitydesktop.org/
