As of today, I am seeing rsync connection failures for outbound connections using the macOS default version of rsync:
% /usr/bin/rsync -rtzvl --delete-after rsync://mse.uk.rsync.macports.org/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ .
rsync(59262): error: connect: Resource temporarily unavailable
rsync(59262): error: inet_connect
The error is evident in connection requests to other sites.
Connections are possible using newer versions of rsync, thus:
% /opt/local/bin/rsync -rtzvl --delete-after rsync://mse.uk.rsync.macports.org/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ .

Welcome to the University of Kent's UK Mirror Service.
The service provider may have made changes to their systems, but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue?
