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

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,

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,
