Job Status - Active Failed on Remote DP

Question
-
Hey everyone, we recently deployed a DP role to a server over a really poor WAN link to China. The DP was added to a DP Group which initiated the distribution of all packages to this server. Its copying the data however every package that I have looked at so far shows status of "failed" to this server. Looking at the PkgXferMgr.log I see it is still writing data to the server yet every few minutes it states that the "Send Request status is FAILED". However it still appears to be copying the data as I can see in the log file it writing the bytes and can watch the data grow on the server itself. Seems like a false positive?
Here's a snippet of the log:

<JOB STATUS - ACTIVE FAILED> SMS_PACKAGE_TRANSFER_MANAGER 10/10/2013 11:56:31 AM 68460 (0x10B6C)Its only happening on this one DP. Now having said that its the only standalone DP I have. I have 18 other Secondary sites with DP's that work just fine. The other difference is that all my secondary sites are Server 2008 R2 (new installs) and the DP is a Server 2008 SP2 (existing File Server) in China with a Chinese language pack installed.
We are on SCCM 2012 SP1 with CU3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I am able to correct the issue by going into the packages and "redistributing" the packages to the Remote DP, albeit very slowly.

Hi,
The phenomenon of lost packages might happened because of the poor WAN link, it kept retrying. So you can see it is still writing data to the server. You can use prestaged content to add content files to the content library on the remote DP.
