It is a problem on cdimage.d.o, which is also ftp.uk.d.o. A single CD image rsync means a load of 1 for >10 minutes, and once 5 people or so rsync in parallel, the machine gets quite sluggish. Using rsync just for the Packages file would probably work, but forget about also using it for the packages.
