apologies, it appears none of us did get back to you last year?

Happy to have you as a mirror, and if you'd like to submit a patch
for https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html that'd be great. Otherwise we
can create one.

We've got a little page at https://gcc.gnu.org/rsync.html that has
information on our rsync service.

`rsync rsync://gcc.gnu.org/` lists a long list of targets, and the
one you'll probably want is gcc-ftp, so

  rsync --archive --delete --compress rsync://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-ftp /loc/al/dir

I guess?

(Let me know whether/what works for you, and I'll make sure to 
enhance our documentation.)


As for frequence, once a day, maybe a bit after snapshot runs happen,
so around midnight your timezone should work fine.

Thank you,
Gerald
