I would suggest that simply mentioning in the doc that rsync is a more
reliable protocol than http, *especially* over slow / high latency
links, and that reposync handles stops and restarts more cleanly.
IMO that would make it clear to everyone what the problems are.

I do not use cobbler reposync, so I could use users feedback here. We should
drop http mirroring
or just mentioning it is unstable in Cobbler documentation is enough?
Someone has used repo
