How new is the --delay-updates option? It probably was introduced
after the mirror scripts were written.
That said, what happens when e.g. the rsync stops halfway? Does it
update the files it already has? Does it keep the files delayed and
resume on the next run? Does it remove the updates and start fresh the
next time?
Apart from that question a single rsync run is certainly much better.
