A tip to those who post to the mailinglist without as much as a try to find out what's wrong yourselves first: Good practise is to first search in the forums (forums.gentoo.org) and bugzilla (bugs.gentoo.org) or just take a look on Gentoo's homepage to see if someone else said something about it... The first thing you see when going to the Gentoo homepage is a news with the topic "rsync mirror troubles". Miiiight be what your looking for?
