CentOS - Feb 2013 - HP download.linux.hp.com not available for rsync?

Hi All.

TCP port 873 (rsync) is closed on download.linux.hp.com for ~24 hours.
Does anyone know why? A quick look in google has not helped to find
the answer.

Best regards,
Rafal.

I stopped using rsync for maintaining my own mirrors a few years ago due 
to similar sorts of issues. instead, I use lftp, with this script...



/usr/local/bin/lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.kernel.org && lcd 
/export/mirror && mirror --continue --verbose=1 -x ia64 -x s390 -x s390x
-x alpha -x SRPMS centos'


which maintains a copy of whatever is on the centos directory of 
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org in /export/mirror/centos, but not the itanium, 
s390, alpha, or SRPMS...
