Wow, I don't know; all the script does is call rsync with some specific parameters. If rsync itself tells you have a protocol incompatibility then I'm not sure what quick-fedora-mirror could do about it. Searching for the error string turns up some rsync bug reports from a couple of years ago which were fixed.

What version of rsync are you running, and on what OS? All of my mirrors are running 3.3.0 (protocol version 31).

Running rsync -V tells me I am running (rsync version 3.2.3 protocol version 31).
My os is fedora 37.
My server also has 4GiB of ram 2GiB of tmp I am using the script to save the lists of files to my tmp when syncing when doing so it uses 1.9GiB of the tmp is there by any chance a way that error could get produced by clogging up my tmp? or should I update my rsync?

That is very confusing; Fedora 37 (which has been out of support for a year now) shipped with rsync 3.2.6 and was updated to 3.2.7. I don't know how you could have 3.2.3 on your system unless you aren't using the packages that come with the operating system or somehow you had an incomplete upgrade.

Please consider upgrading to a supported Fedora version, or at least upgrade rsync to some newer version.

I installed fedora 37 right from the iso so a incomplete upgrade is impossible the only 3rd party packages I have are veracrypt and virtual box so I do not see how that is possible to.

I figured out the rsync version puzzle I did something dumb I ran the rsync -V command on the computer I am using to send these messages not the computer that is trying to mirror the fedora archive the mirroring computer which is fedora 37 is rsync version 3.2.6.

Thanks I will try to update my rsync and get back to you if I still have problems.

Updating rsync to version 3.2.7 fixed the problem.
