Most of the universe (and some restricted) package directories seem

well it is filling alphabetically - so we get pool/main first, pool/multiverse
after that followed by pool/restricted and finally pool/universe. when the rsync
dies and is restarted, it starts over from the beginning (but will, of course,
quickly get to where it left off since only changes have to be downloaded now).
the farthest we got was universe/m, so there is nothing after that. it is right
now at universe/b and i expect it to finish by friday morning IST. of course,
you are supposed to look at the archive-update-in-progress file at the root of
the tree and realize that - the update is in progress! one of the reasons rsync
is dying may be because of files that get deleted while the download is still in
progress.
