ls -lRat on ftp.suse.com

Hello list, I've been mirroring 7.3 and 8.0 updates from ftp.suse.com quite successfully until it broke couple of days ago. (Please do not point me to mirrors, unless you know any site closer to San Carlos, CA than Oakland) I am using perl mirror package. Looking at mirror logs I realized that command "ls -lRat" stopped recursing into the directory, it just lists the top level. I looked at ftp.gwdg.de, "ls -lRat" works properly there. Anybody else noticed this broken behaviour of "ls -lRat" on ftp.suse.com? Thanks, -Kastus
