please use names and not ip addresses!!!! remove <a href="http://64.127.121.98">64.127.121.98</a> and add in its place <a href="http://rsync.gentoo.org">rsync.gentoo.org</a>. the rsync server rotates so the simple ip might not work. 
<br>remove it and use <a href="http://rsync.gentoo.org">rsync.gentoo.org</a> and use that.<br>and try not rsyncing more than once per 24hours or you can be temporary banned!!!!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/10/29, Paul Stear &lt;
