It doesn't seem to list anything ?

Sure it does - it gives you a module list, with only the CentOS module there at the end, on the very last line :)

I guess rsync URLs in the format rsync://host::module/ aren't actually supported, even though you see lots of people publishing them like that. Even on the centos mirror list page, there are a good number who do - maybe they shouldn't? I followed their example, although obviously without enough testing :) It seems counterintuitive, because it works just fine if you strip the rsync:// off the front. This means that the following two commands are equivalent, and will get you a directory listing:

rsync mirror.nic.uoregon.edu::centos/ rsync rsync://mirror.nic.uoregon.edu/centos/

Maybe I'm missing something? Either way, the content should be there...
