Details

Every time after a bigger move from testing to current there is a synchronisation problem of the mirrors.

I'm running the Swiss arch mirror (archlinux.puzzle.ch). The mirror uses the arch rsync server for updating with a cron job every hour. The problem is: it cannot connect the most time because of the max. connections limit (10 connections). If the mirror can connect, the connection is quite slow.

Possible solutions for this issue:
1) Allow only mirrors to connect to this server (at least per rsync). Mirrors need to ask for rsync permission first (IP / domain based or password).
2) Setup a new highspeed rsync mirror with only running the rsync service.
This task depends upon

rsync has been limited to official mirrors only, the 10 rsync slots should be less of a problem now.

I think this issue can be closed. The 0.8 ISO push has been done without problems ;)
