Hmmm... there are very much old rsync daemon processes hanging around on
www.uk. Oldest one dates from a week ago and most seem to be swapped out.
Rsync has (default) max. 50 childs or so, so I suspect that'll be the problem.
In case anyone with root rights on open.hands is listening: could you please
shoot off a lot of these old things?

Nope, www.uk (or better: cdimage.debian.org) is still master, but the script
mentions a higher-capacity mirror for the benefit of all clueless users ;-)
