same thing happens to me too for ftp.astral.ro, like this:

[root at elf ~]# rsync --dry-run -avH --delete --exclude=".~tmp~/"
msync-dvd.centos.org::CentOS-incdvd
/store/public_volumes/v001/mirrors/centos.org/

msync.CentOS.org rsync service (CentOS R2)
---------------------------------------

This service is intended for the sole use of the CentOS worldwide mirror
network
to synchronize mirrors.

Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public CentOS mirror
use a mirror listed at
http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13

If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the
notes at :- http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15

If you do use this service then it is implied that you are providing a
mirror for public use and giving us authority to publicise such mirror.


@ERROR: failed to open lock file
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1383) [receiver=2.6.9]

this and 'connection timed out's.

don't think is client side problem, i have a bunch of other mirrors too
that are working without problems. i wait a little bit, the run the
rsync again, this time with U2 server, and it's working fine.
