level of replication is losing all its data and from there its subscriber

Check the conflict viewer there to see if it is logged as conflicts.

How did you set republishing up? It should be from upstream to downstream.
Start with your highest level publisher, and publish to downstream
publishers. The data in the downstream publishers will get whacked. Then
when the data is in the downstream publishers publish to the subscribers.

Is this SQL 2000 or SQL 2005. You need to configure them differently for the
version.

It's SQL Server 2000,
I have set up my replication in a top down approach. The merge agent
started and got stuck in a loop I presume. There was alot of data to
transfert.... But nothing was happening and I restarted the sql Server
and when it restarted it truncated my whole table... All the was gone
from the republisher.. There's no conflicts... I have testeed the same
scenario with same structure, while it was downloading the data I
stopped the sql Server and when it came back online it picked up where
it left without an itch. It's the second time I loose all my data in 2
different ways...

This is by design. When you stopped the initial sync the next time it
restarted it had to truncate the table and repopulate it. Sometimes initial
syncs for large tables can be lengthy.
