I think the only problem is that you're trying to access an rsync module called "macports", and the Seattle mirror doesn't provide a module by that name. According to https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors , we've never claimed that they provide a module by that name. Consult that wiki page for the correct settings to use for that mirror. It would be nice if the Seattle mirror would add a module called "macports", since that is what we do on our primary server and recommend mirror operators do as well. Mirror operators may learn more by reading https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirroring .
