[Chris Patti]

You might try using the --tries parameter.  e.g. cobbler reposync --tries=3 or 5

Honestly though, I have been frustrated by cobbler reposync's
inability to recover from any network issues at all (including
slowness)

After talking with folks on the freenode #cobbler channel about this,
please consider changing your protocol from http to rsync.  You will
likely see much better results as we have.

As http mirroring seems unstable, imho we should either not support http 
mirroring or
at least mention the issue in Cobbler documentation.

I do not use cobbler reposync, so I could use users feedback here. We 
should drop http mirroring
or just mentioning it is unstable in Cobbler documentation is enough? 
Someone has used repo
mirroring via HTTP successfully?

I've used http with success, rsync isn't always an option.

I use HTTP mirroring and would not like to see it dropped.  We simply
have upped the --tries number :-/

I would suggest that simply mentioning in the doc that rsync is a more
reliable protocol than http, *especially* over slow / high latency
links, and that reposync handles stops and restarts more cleanly.

IMO that would make it clear to everyone what the problems are.

Dropping 'http' support. Was: cobbler reposync failed

I'd really prefer to see that it be documented and not dropped.

There are repos we have to use occasionally that are only available via
http protocol and we have no power to change it.
