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,
