I experienced this problem, too, and the window was quite large. I refreshed the directory index[1] and noticed that package timestamps were being updated one at a time (in alphabetical order). It's hard to say exactly what the window was, but the repo was down for starting at at least 10:00 am local time, and by 5:00 pm, it was still at "tex-lshort". I'm guessing the total downtime was probably around 15 to 20 hours. Are updates happening over rsync? If so, would it be possible in the future to use the "--delay-updates" option, which would minimize this problem?
