Now we recovery mirror from backup.
It will be full recovery from backup two weeks ago.

I have contacted the mirror admin for the Utwente mirror. If you would, please choose another mirror to sync off of near your physical location rather than backing up from two week old data. If you restore from back up, users will complain about not being able to find distfiles packages from your mirror and this whole process will start again.

Thanks,
Jeffrey

From the admin:

We were transferring to a new RAID system. All files were copied, but 
due to a problem with permissions the gentoo mirrors got accidently 
deleted.

All problems should be fixed again, i just ran the sync by hand and it 
shows that all files are up to date again.
I apologise for the trouble.

Thanks DJ
