I can also start a iim run in parallel with rrr.

I (and ambs) have cpan.perl.pt using rrr for some time now, and this
past weekend the promoted it to be the master mirror. So far (using
find . -type f, and diff) the differences are those to be expected. I
plan to double check with rsync -nav during the weekend and if no
problems are found, drop the rsync-based mirror.

backpan.perl.pt will keep a 6 hour lag over cpan.perl.pt.
