So long as the mtime of the file is only updated after all data is written
to disk it should not bother any mirror tool if the file is
partial/corrupt. Rsync will try to rsync the partial file and ftp mirrors
will reget based on the bad file time.
How exactly does resier handle this? I hope it is OK for people running
mirrors...
