Thank you! Turns out my solution didn't work, anyway. It went downloaded all the CHECKSUMS files ... then deleted them!

Heh! That's exactly what the very next version did for me.
At least you were on the right track. Another 42 minutes or so, and you'd have ended up with my final version.
The key was not running mirror needlessly. I ended up with a multi-stage algorithm, described in the accompanying text. The result is that I don't try to mirror any CHECKSUMS for which I already have a local version and none of its associated files have been updated
