I did not mean to imply that you were causing it.  I think you are
right about the cron scripts.

BTW, I just noticed that _all_ files aren't changed every day.  I
checked some of them at random for the last three days and
(coincidently) the ones I checked changed each day.  Regardless, it's
probably not a good idea to be messing around with the timestamps.

FYI: I am not causing this to happen. So it must be in one of the cron 
sctrips that are running on the system. 

Thanks

Package: debian-bugs tree on ftp.debian.org
Version: current

I have been mirroring ftp.debian.org on a trial basis and have run
into something strange.  The timestamps of the files in 
ftp.debian.org:/debian/debian-bugs/html appear to be reset every day
at around 7am.  This causes my mirror script to unnecessarily download
1000+ files every day.  :-/

BTW, this *is* correct behavior for a mirror script since a change in
timestamp may indicate a change in the contents of a file.  In this
case, the contents of every bug report does not change daily so
something must be wrong.
