Zoltan,

Retonly=nolimit will keep the last version of a deleted file forever.
If the filenames in the directories are static, then it doesn't matter, but if 
files are
being deleted, retonly=0 will give the fastest expiration from the server.  I 
suggest
a little grace period, say retonly=7.

Hope this helps,

Bill Colwell
