I thought you should only sync once every 24 hours to limit network
costs and stress for the mirrors.

From the motd of todays sync:

"Please note: common gentoo-netiquette says you should not sync more
than once a day.  Users who abuse the rsync.gentoo.org rotation
may be added to a temporary ban list."
