Seems that SUSE has ways too less resources to handle a continuous access to the current set of RPM packages. As I told already yesterday I was in charge of evaluating the drpmsync service. Now I have detailed measurements and found that the drpmsync server was so much overloaded that he managed to stream out within 24 hours only the production of new packages that were made within 2 hours, i.e. less than 10%. Most likely it is not the drpmsync service that kills the machine it is running on but the fact that ftp and rsync run on the very same machine and this machine cannot handle this load.
Let's hope that they will get some public mirrors for this server or have the money to buy some additional machines. Until one of these situations happens to occur I am giving up syncing the data because in the current situation the service unfortunately is unusable.
