Re: metacpan losing track of certain CPAN distributions

Hi Ask,

MetaCPAN is getting quite a few of these:

```
@ERROR: max connections (10) reached -- try again later
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1666)
[Receiver=3.1.2]
```

Anything you can do on that?

Cheers

Leo
