I've been experience repeated apache hangs. I've had to temporarily disable this mirror while I diagnose. I will re-enable it as soon as possible.
My server is stable without this mirror running. Is there a way to limit the load on a mirror? I'd really like to bring it back online, if possible. Host OS is Apache2/Debian5.
Are you running other services on the same machine? It's generally best not to do this.
You might want to try switching to Apache worker MPM (threaded) and disable any extensions that are unused (especially anything like PHP) to reduce resource usage. You might also want to try a different web server like nginx or lighttpd. For apache, something like mod_bw might help you to reduce bandwidth usage which could translate to lower load averages.
Alternatively, try faster disks, more RAM and faster CPU.... :)
