[gentoo-user] Confusing persistent sync problem

Evening,

Lately, for at least a few months, actually, I've been completely unable to
sync normally.  I'll get the following sort of thing three times from three
different servers.

>>> Starting retry 2 of 3 with rsync://134.68.220.74/gentoo-portage
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
Welcome to crane.gentoo.org

Server Address : 134.68.220.74
Contact Name   : mirror-admin@gentoo.org
Hardware       : 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1700MHz, 2024MB RAM

Please note: common gentoo-netiquette says you should not sync more
than once a day.  Users who abuse the rsync.gentoo.org rotation
may be added to a temporary ban list.

I imagine it must be on my end, but I can't for the life of me figure out
what it is.  Not at my desk, but I seem to recall the syslog was empty as
well.  Has anyone run into this or, more importantly, a solution for this?

Cheers,
Wyatt

Have you verified that the connection has been made? If not try;
adam@voodoo ~ $ telnet crane.gentoo.org 873
Trying 134.68.220.74...
Connected to crane.gentoo.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]quit

telnet> quit
Connection closed.

If you don't get the "Trying" line, your DNS is broken.

If you don't get the "Escape character" line, then the session hasn't been setup - check your firewall/routing.

If you dot get "Escape character" its an application issues. Maybe try rebuilding rsync.

Try to increase the timeout. Add the following line to /etc/make.conf

PORTAGE_RSYNC_INITIAL_TIMEOUT=60

So yeah, thanks a bunch; I was a touch worried that I'd gotten us banned or
something. ;)

Cheers,
Wyatt
