Is the error the same for both mirrors you are trying to use?  Does the
rsync start off from where it finished last time? I rsync from aarnet
regularly and don't face any problems although it must be said I don't use
as much switches. If it helps, my command is:

rsync -vtlrh --ipv4 --progress --stats --delete --exclude .~tmp~/
www.mirror.aarnet.edu.au::ubuntu /media/Repository/ubuntu/

I would start with trying to eliminate errors from the mirror end and
internet connectivity end (connection reset by peer seems a bit
connectivity related rather than rsync related according to the samba help
site - question 3 at http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html). Otherwise perhaps
give my working one a try and see if it runs all the way though. If that
works, I'm at a loss and hopefully someone else can chime in.
