us-msync.centos.org is a round robin DNS entry for around 40 different 
servers. When you rsync, you will see the server's name in the greeting, 
centosn7 in this case:

$ rsync rsync://us-msync.centos.org/

msync.CentOS.org rsync service (centosn7)
...

If you keep logs of your rsync sessions, it would be useful to know from 
which server you synced from and ended up with an empty TIME file.
