Hi
First,im new to Slackware.

I run Slackware64 current in virtualbox and try a fresh install of latest KDE5 with this link https://slackware.nl/alien-kde/current/latest/README.

But i encounter a problen with rsync :

Code:

rsync -Hav --exclude=x86 rsync://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/

rsync: failed to connect to slackware.uk (91.109.244.240): Connection timed out (110)
rsync: failed to connect to slackware.uk (2a02:2498:1:227::240:1): Network is unreachchable (101)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(127) [Receiver=3.1.3]

I don't understand this error, i can ping slackware.uk with succes and my network configuration is ok.

Some help is welcome, thanks
Philippe

I just tried your command, no issue here.

Your DNS server seems to work ok, you may be blocked by proxy, try

Code:

ping slackware.uk

to check if you can access slackware.uk at all

He did already.

Ok, sorry, I didn't notice. In that case it's possible that rsync is blocked in your network. Do you use proxy? Try using some other rsync servers, for example rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/slackware to check if you can use rsync.

I don't use proxy and i have same error with bear.alienbase.nl server

That means that rsync ports are probably blocked in your network:

Code:

$ grep rsync /etc/services
rsync           873/tcp
rsync           873/udp

Who is your ISP? Are you on mobile, corporate or university network?

Finally i found the solution

on my Orange network box, i opened the rsync port 873.

Thanks for answers.
