rsync - Apr 2011 - rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer and - writefd_unbuffered failed

Hello,

i386 Platform; FreeBSD v. 7.2 O/S
I am experiencing repeated rsync failures, rsyncing from a remote site to
which I have no access.

Could some one point out where the error may be occurring, there are two
steps where it seems
that read(4 ...) returns a 1, 4th line from the bottom - could that be it,
i.e. the error source?

Thanks!
