just a heads up...

after the recent changes to how mirrors operate, i updated my script 
that rsync's against rsync.torproject.org.

the last three times it has ran (four hours apart), i've received the 
below error message from cron.

it would appear that the error is due to connections to 873/tcp being 
refused:

$ telnet rsync.torproject.org rsync
Trying 38.229.72.16...
telnet: connect to address 38.229.72.16: Connection refused
