I assume you have been able to sync before? Has anything changed on  
your network since then? Is the rsync port (873) blocked perhaps?

You may want to switch to using our new Australian mirror for your  
ports. It might be faster. Once you get it working at all.

If rsync just won't work on your network, you can switch to using a  
Subversion working copy for your ports.
