dsync seems to stop working properly after a while for some reason, the usual solution is to upgrade it, which implies a compile from source. after a while it's a pain to keep all these packages up to date.
i am using it in production (debian wheezy package, version 2.1.7-7 now) and it works pretty reliable. do you have a link to a bug report? i kind of depend on it atm, so i'd like to know its bugs.
