I keep getting "Konnte keine Verbindung zur Datenbank auf $1 herstellen" (can't connect to database on $1) on the German wp, and the "technical difficulties" message on en.

The db server is bit stressed actually, all we can do is waiting for the new Geoffrin.
On a (hopefully not) related matter, I am in the process of rsync-ing the images of the German wp, for an offline (CD/DVD) edition. Is rsync stressing the server too much, or can I continue with this?
rsync has a switch to limit the bandwidth usage , --bwlimit= 200 for example. It would limit the load on zwinger :)
