Document how to work around blocked rsync port

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

People often ask on the lists how they can selfupdate and sync if their network administrators have blocked the rsync port. This is worthwhile information to include in the guide. I just explained what needs to be done on the list. Maybe this can be transformed into something that can be used in the guide.

I think this might be better on the wiki, because I can see many similar entries on this down the road. But in any case, it someone would reduce it to concrete steps (step 1, step 2, ...) it would be the first step to documenting it wherever it ends up.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I thought about that too. Maybe it would fit into the how-to section.

I once were using an ssh tunnel and changed sources.conf to ask on localhost. Works as well.

Kind regards Thomas
