mirror script enhancement



Hi,
the mirror script at:

	http://www.debian.org/mirror/anonftpsync

could use an enhancement - Its a bad idea to run rsync without a 
timeout. This lead to a 3 day hang for ftp2.de.debian.org as the rsync
refused to terminate and the script wasnt restarting ...

a --timeout=600 oder --timeout=3600 would make sense. If the connection
stalls just exit ...

For me it was caused by a ipv6 network connection hicup...
