Yes, mirrormanager's crawler determines freshness every 12 hours or so. However, it has a bit of a problem... If it can't complete its crawl of a site in an hour (it should take 5 minutes if the site is well-behaved and not overloaded), it doesn't change it's state. So if the crawler can't get through the site for several days, mirrormanager still thinks it's up-to-date. That's a bug in the crawler I need to address.
