There is no problem right at the moment, but Henk's rsync pages http://www.apache.org/~henkp/rstats/ do show that we've been exceeding the connection limit on occasion. This is usually caused by an out-of-control client using up all the slots. We could up the limit, but it probably wouldn't help. Please do continue to inform us if you get rejected consistently and, as Erik suggests, try a slightly less "round" time for your rsync. (Judging from this page: http://www.apache.org/mirrors/ it does seem like many of our mirrors missed an update in the last few days.) Joshua.
