Yes, probably ibiblio.org had its dns information shredded. When that happens you'll either get an error like you did or get redirected to a completely unrelated site. You're the first I know of to have had this problem. Another possibility may be that the ifarchive rsync repository was migrated over to the mirrors.ibiblio.org rsync prefix. You can try going to each of those addresses with rsync and put the -l parameter on the command line and save output to a file and check the files over later. That -l parameter tells the rsync server to send you a list of the repositories available.On Thu, 3 Feb 2011, Eric Oyen wrote:
