There seems to be an rsyncd misconfiguration in the site ftp.br. The non-US module had its name changed to lower case, non-us:
latt:/home/delyra> rsync rsync://ftp.br.debian.org/debian-non-US @ERROR: Unknown module 'debian-non-US' rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (51 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) latt:/home/delyra> rsync rsync://ftp.br.debian.org/ debian official debian mirror (~110GB) debian-non-us non-us debian mirror (~1GB) ubuntu official debian mirror (~54GB) Howeve, using the name in lower case leads to a missing directory: latt:/home/delyra> rsync rsync://ftp.br.debian.org/debian-non-us @ERROR: chroot failed rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (34 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) In fact it seems that the directory is still with the correct name: latt:/home/delyra> ftp ftp.br.debian.org Connected to ftp.br.debian.org. 220 (vsFTPd 2.0.1) Name (ftp.br.debian.org:delyra): ftp 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 150 Here comes the directory listing. drwxr-xr-x 8 0 0 4096 Mar 17 20:49 debian drwxr-xr-x 6 0 0 132 Aug 02 2004 debian-non-US drwxr-xr-x 7 0 0 68 Mar 17 16:43 ubuntu My guess is, someone mistakenly lower-cased the rsyncd.conf file.
