is rsync.torproject.org having network problems, or is it me?

I'm seeing a lot of these messages lately:

rsync: failed to connect to rsync.torproject.org (2620:0:6b0:b:1a1a:0:26e5:4810): No route to host (113) rsync: failed to connect to rsync.torproject.org (38.229.72.16): Connection timed out (110)

One time I got this message, I couldn't reach the host from multiple machines on different networks.

The 38.229 machines are being shuffled in the datacenter the past few days. So it is totally possible that you found them missing for some hours at a time. I think the shuffling might continue into this coming week. We moved some services to Hetzner in the meantime, but that just means smaller downtime and more predictable downtime, not no downtime. :) --Roger
