Thanks for the quick response. The command line is:

rsync -avzuP UK-2009-11-richards-gist roc.cs.umass.edu:talks/

... but I get essentially the same doing other things and going
other places. It appears I cannot get through at all. (I'll have
to try another time if it's a port blocking issue from the particular
place I am.)

I could not find this in the rsync FAQs, etc.
