Up to date not quite. Checking right now (0820z) the last available pic is 0800z.
Apart, I wonder what their sources are. The pic I saw at 0800z does not fully correspond with other coverage I have.
There are various radar sites around Europe and if you want to put in some time into writing some code you could collect the pixels and re-map them onto a European map. I reckon that’s what this .cz site (which has come up before e.g. here) does. In fact that site came up even earlier – here and the data source is suggested there
If such a feed could be georeferenced it would be quite useful. This is what ADL do but they get the real digital data AFAIK, not images which need joining up and remapping.

Radar composites are compositions of dozens and in some case over hundred radar stations operated in different countries. All their data must be measured which can take several minutes if multiple sweeps at different angles are done.

No, there is a vast amount of processing that takes place on the data before it is distributed. It is not a sweep of a single radar, it is typically a composite picture of several including different slant angles. Processing is used to make it a fair view of the space covered. Your 512×512 png is derived from a very large complex data set.
