Just on the FreeBSD rsync issue, it looks fine when I hit the UK 
rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/.

But ftp in to check the path. . . my package path and syntax is 
different.  I'm using:

rsync -av 
rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable .

Not sure about why you're getting dropped. . . maybe your ISP thinks 
your streaming video :)

ftp13 in the US seems to be topping out at 30 connections.

HTH
