You apparently can't connect to our rsync server. Various network conditions or
firewall or antivirus software could cause that. If you cannot resolve it by
working with your network administrator or by uninstalling the software that's
causing the problem, then you will not be able to use selfupdate (you'll have
to update MacPorts base by downloading the installer from our web site) and you
will need to configure MacPorts to use a method other than rsync for sync (for
when you want to update your ports tree). One method is to use the ports.tar.gz
file, as you've discovered from reading the wiki.
