Bug Description
Binary package hint: rsync
This is what a user obtains if facing a timeout using rsync:
> $ rsync rsync:/
> .
> rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(454) [receiver=2.6.9]
It should print out a much clear message so the user knows what's going on.
ps. saw this on package source. it has the bug mail as:
Bugs: mailto:<email address hidden>
is this correct?

The error message is now clearer (IMHO of course):
$ rsync rsync:/ /cdimage. ubuntu. com/cdimage/ releases/ hardy/alpha- 6/hardy- desktop- i386.iso hardy/alpha- 6" (in cdimage) failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync: change_dir "/releases/
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1677) [Receiver=3.1.3]
It now explicitly mentions being unable to change directory to "/releases/ hardy/alpha- 6" which is a good hint about the problem IMHO. As such, marking as fix released.
