Connection timeout error means that:

1. remote server is down
2. you are having a firewall in between which is silently dropping your requests
3. there is a routing issue which is preventing you from reaching the
remote server

Note that there is a subtle difference between connection timeout and connection
refused error messages.  Connection refused means that you were able to reach
the remote server, but the server rejected your connection.


To troubleshoot, ensure that your internet connection is otherwise
working correctly.  You are permitting rsync ports through your firewall.
Check that the service is working correctly for other users (from other
locations) at the same time.
