Hello... I tried running this command with the OS X firewall off: rsync rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ It timed out as usual.
Then I got to thinking... what else would block it? I logged in to my router and found it has a firewall as well. I turned it off, and then the command worked! After experimenting with the router's firewall settings, 'selfupdate' worked! My biggest problem was forgetting that there was a second firewall! Thanks for all the help I received; it helped me think more clearly...
