[rdiff-backup-users] occasional ConnectionReadErrors

[Laurin Herlt]

hi,

i am using rdiff-backup 0.10.1 (and python 2.2.1) to backup 8 different 
linux servers in a lan. works perfectly.
but the rdiff-backup of an externel webserver occasionaly fails.
the connection is a 2mbit sdsl line which works without problems for 
about a year now. so i guess this is not the problem.

the error occurs from time to time. can't tell when.

anybody got some hints?

thanks, laurin
