emerge --sync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(458)

Hi.

Since a few days I can not make an emerge --sync.
I always get a message like this

Are you sure the rsync port hasn't been blocked someone on your firewall? It seems to be allowing the connection but blocking data transfer.

Hi.

No it's not blocked. An rsync to other servers is possible.
If I try a emerge --sync a serveral times, then the emerge --sync
will work.

So what's wrong? Any ideas?

It still sounds like a firewall problem....connection reset by peer sounds like something didn't like rsync somewhere along the route.

When you say eventually it syncs? When it does is it with a particular rsync server? Perhaps you try changing your SYNC line to rsync servers that work and then try to figure out why the others don't.

I'm getting the same error:

emerge --sync

It seems to be random, I could successfully sync in a remote server and after a while I could sync successfully on mine.

I'm having the same problem. emerge-webrsync seems to work though its a bit slow.

Once I did this emerge --sync worked.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads, refer to topic "Portage sync fails every time, io.c(458)" there is a brief explanation in that topic.
