TCP port 873 (rsync) is closed on download.linux.hp.com for ~24 hours. Does anyone know why? A quick look in google has not helped to find the answer.

I stopped using rsync for maintaining my own mirrors a few years ago due to similar sorts of issues. instead, I use lftp, with this script...

/usr/local/bin/lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.kernel.org && lcd /export/mirror && mirror --continue --verbose=1 -x ia64 -x s390 -x s390x -x alpha -x SRPMS centos'

which maintains a copy of whatever is on the centos directory of ftp://mirrors.kernel.org in /export/mirror/centos, but not the itanium, s390, alpha, or SRPMS...
