i think it probably relates back to apache.org's "how to mirror apache"
guide page, where it states that you have to pull the repository between
8am GMT till noon GMT.
from the error messages i've got lately, it was during that time frame.
perhaps if each region were given a time period to rsync, then you can
roughly predict the traffic size. e.g. each region should rsync between
8am-noon at their own timezone, not 8am-noon GMT.
my 2cents.
