This worked on the old rsync server because it only contained MacPorts modules, but the FAU server contains many more modules, so in order to avoid PNNL downloading terabytes of information they didn't need and didn't intend to have, FAU blocked PNNL from accessing the new rsync server until they could fix their scripts. We reported the problem to the PNNL admins, but did not hear back. Until they fix this, you can switch to a different [wiki:Mirrors mirror server]. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52055#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
