Actually, I did not try web-sync, I will and let you know, but doing
some googling I came across the mirrorselect utility and did the
following
emerge mirrorselect
mirrorselect -ri
it presents options for your rsync mirror, I choose
rsync.namerica.gentoo.org
which updated my this line in my /etc/make.conf
SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
to
SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
then emerge --sync and it is working
So as far as why it was timing out trying to sync to the main rsync
site I'm still not sure, but at least its working now.
Thanks,

I have ran into the same thing with some servers. Sometimes it will get
half way through then stop. I use the same server you have as your new
one and it seems to work fine for me as well. Maybe that server needs
some adjusting.
By any chance, would you have a dial-up connection that is somewhat
slow? Mine connects at 26K and I think sometimes it just take to long
to get it and the servers disconnects me.
