With Ryan's help, I was able to switch our rsync origin to a different 
server. After a few initial bumps it now seems to be running smoothly. 
The ports tree and distfiles are being kept up to date. Packages are not 
currently getting built because there's no buildmaster running (and all 
the Intel builders are also down.)
