rsync - Jul 2005 - rsync breaks suddenly

Hi,

I am trying to mirror a suse part with rsync -tvvvvvvrl 
--delete-excluded --stats --progress --exclude i386/9.1-personal-iso/ 
--exclude i386/live*/  
ftp.gwdg.de::pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/  
/var/ftp/pub/suse/i386 2&> rsync.log

Randomly it hangs and after about 15 minutes I am getting an error. I've 
copied the last lines of my log:

I talked with the admin of the rsync server. We can't find any failure. 
Anybody an idea?

Thanks,
