P.S. On a personal note I find it nearly unfathomable that these "daily" stats files are being updated and published only once a day. This seems to me almost reminicent of technological solutions considered appropriate in the prior century.
Be aware that Whois updates its list of in-region (RIPE) resources from the internal RIPE NCC resource registry every 15 minutes, and not once a day from the stats file. So any changes to the registry are reflected quickly in Whois. Resources can be updated promptly, and queries (with the '--resource' flag or with RDAP) will return the correct source. This only affects *RIPE* resources, we only update the out-of-region resources from the delegated stats once a day. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
