I do a full mirroring with rsync each night, and so these 25 MB "new files" are matching the "old files" very very good.

Yes, the FTP mirroring software I'm using is not as smart as rsync, it just goes by timestamp. I should probably be updating using rsync instead, but I haven't set that up before - are you using a specific login on otrs.org, or is there some sort of anon rsync setup there? We can take this offlist if it's not useful for everyone else. :)

You can use rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/otrs/

If you like to migrate your ftp tree to rsync without re-fetching everything, you can do it like the advices in http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/people/emoenke/rsync.suse_update First step: tell rsync "-vv --dry-run" to let him tell what he would do. Just to follow Lenin - "Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle ist besser". Second step: tell rsync "-vv --size-only --existing" to let him verify your contents with help of MD5 sums and correct the naturally crippled ftp time stamps. Third step: do a "regular" rsync.
