 wired connection it worked. Additionally I had to change the permissions
 (chmod 777) to this file
 (/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/).
 Finally I used sudo to run the command:

 change the permissions (chmod 664) to that file

 Directories need execute permission; 664 does not include execute
 permission.

 I'm going to close this ticket since the problem was determined to be due
 to wrong permissions on the user's system and problems specific to the
 user's network.
