During the past day we've been unable to rsync to the CentOS master mirror servers. Timeouts are reported: rsync: failed to connect to us-msync.centos.org: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(98) rsync: failed to connect to eu-msync.centos.org: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(98) Are these servers really down, or are they overwhelmed with unwarranted rsync traffic ? We run a Tier1 mirror server (mirror.fysik.dtu.dk) and therefore need to rsync relatively quickly. Is it time that the master mirror servers become restricted to Tier1 (and maybe Tier2) ? -- Ole Holm Nielsen Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark
