I'm doing this right now with a simple sh script, ftp, and cron. However,
do you think its wise to encourage the linux community at large to pummel
ftp.kernel.org once an hour? Think of it this way: say a few hundred
people decide to do this. That's a few hundred extra
connect-read-disconnect sessions every hour.
Do you _really_ need your kernel update notice that badly, that fast?
For the sake of the site you're beating, please consider tuning it back to
once or twice a day by default.
