Re: debmirror hangs

[Joshua <jgardynik@endlessrealities.com>]

I too have had this problem, and while I don't know exactly what's 
failing on the script, I know it has something to do with converting the 
Index files to gzip and xz. An easy fix (at the expense of some 
additional bandwidth) is to pass in --slow-cpu, which will make it 
download all versions of the Index files and skip any gzip/xz processing 
on them. That fixed it for me, and I'm now happily updating my week-old 
mirror.

Hope that helps!
