When checking ​https://rsync.macports.org/releases I see an 404 Not found message. Has this folder been moved or renamed? We are not blocking any related ports on our network and there is no firewall installed on the system.

It works fine for me. Maybe there was a temporary server problem? We did have a brief outage on our Trac server earlier today; not sure what happened or if the rsync server was also impacted.

That 404 response is normal, because that is not a valid URL. rsync.macports.org is not meant to be used as an http(s) server; it is meant to be used as an rsync server.
