Followup: I've created new subforums and started a fresh sync. Two out of three previously broken groups synced fast and flawlessly again, and the third (the biggie with 47,000 posts) is still bringing them across but appears to be working just fine (I'll update this when it's done), flying through previous "problem posts" with no errors. The MIME stuff junks the posts up a lot (as does the *ridiculous* level of >>> quotes this group can get up to) but we'll worry about that in the future; as long as the forums sync, I know I can re-sync later if the MIME encoding issue is tackled and clean it all up then.
I've got max posts = 100 per sync. At that speed I get the occasional "server has gone away" error between every say three to seven syncs, but importantly they're now "benign". I can tell in advance when it's a benign error because it refers to the first post of a given block of 100 posts being transferred - those errors cause no cycling problems, sync just continues as the db catches up.
Being able to maintain a speed of 100 per sync (one sync per minute, 6000 posts per hour) is *very* good - at that speed that's still eight solid hours of syncing to get the posts across. But I'm starting to feel like I can take my eyes off it and trust it.
