'Connection lost'

[Greg Eden <greg@wholemeal.net>]

Hello

I've been using tarsnap (compiled on a 32bit Centos 5.4 install) for
about a week now, generally loving it, does exactly what it says on
the tin and is lightning fast. The first few nightly backups went very
smoothly. However I've noticed that the cron job that ran on Mon, Mar
8, 2010 at 3:31 AM failed with:

tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 30 seconds before reconnecting
tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 60 seconds before reconnecting
tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 90 seconds before reconnecting
tarsnap: Connection lost, waiting 90 seconds before reconnecting
tarsnap: Too many network failures
tarsnap: Error creating new archive

So I'm wondering where the failure is - here my end, tarsnap server or
Amazon? The cron job is running on a London based Linode which has
normally sterling connectivity.

Best regards.

Greg.
