Alexander, I considered that possibility because I am behind various proxies and firewalls, so I ran the following rsync command which tries to retrieve a copy of the rsync source code from samba.org.
rsync -av --exclude=.git/ rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync /dest/dir/ This works fine and successfully retrieves the rsync source code. So apparently rsync in general is not blocked. So what is special about fink's rsync site? James > On 2/3/10 11:19 AM, James Howse wrote: > > Just this week I have started getting the following error when running > > fink selfupdate.
