  Use "rsync pkg.opensolaris.org::" to test basic responsiveness.  A
  listing of the available "modules" should be displayed, like the
  following:

  $ rsync pkg.opensolaris.org::
  osol_dev_files 	"OpenSolaris Development Release Package Contents"
  osol_release_isos	"OpenSolaris Release ISO Images"

  It's possible that there was an outage, or that too many rsync
  sessions were open simultaneously.  Without an explicit error message,
  I can't diagnose further.

  Thanks
