[RAS] Fwd: 909 is down from 995 eight days ago, but up from 651 four days ago - the citations go down just before the rankings are released, and come up again after they have been released (fwd)

[Dan Hayes]

the aras user doesn't seem to have trouble rsyncing from citec.repc.org

aras at nebka:/opt$ rsync -va adnetec at citec.repec.org:RePEc/zzz/cites/

Is there a reason /opt needs to be owned by adnetec outside of this?  Where
is the rsync for this automated?

What cron is it that's running that has errors with outdated content?
