Hello,

When I have not sync'd in over a month or so and when I ran:

emerge --sync
It basically shows the motd of the remote rsync server and then times out.
I have let it run for a bit and try multiple servers and it just keeps 
timing out after the motd regardless of which server it goes to... here is 
some output:

and thats it.  I reinstalled a recent portage snapshot and also made sure 
I don't have any config file updates pending with etc-update and a manual 
search in etc.  The rest of portage/emerge continues to work fine.  I can 
continue to emerge/install packages without problems, just not --sync. 
Any ideas are appreciated.  Thanks,

Have you upgraded rsync lately?  Do you run revdep-rebuild after updates?  Maybe you just need to rebuild rsync...

Maybe not a direct solution, but does a web-sync work ?

Actually, I did not try web-sync, I will and let you know, but doing some 
googling I came across the mirrorselect utility and did the following

emerge mirrorselect
mirrorselect -ri

it presents options for your rsync mirror, I choose

rsync.namerica.gentoo.org

which updated my this line in my /etc/make.conf

SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

to

SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

then emerge --sync and it is working

So as far as why it was timing out trying to sync to the main rsync site 
I'm still not sure, but at least its working now.

Thanks,

I have ran into the same thing with some servers.  Sometimes it will get 
half way through then stop.  I use the same server you have as your new 
one and it seems to work fine for me as well.  Maybe that server needs 
some adjusting.

By any chance, would you have a dial-up connection that is somewhat 
slow?  Mine connects at 26K and I think sometimes it just take to long 
to get it and the servers disconnects me.
