[ale] rsync incantation (gentoo)

What's the right way to use rsync so I can make a local mirror that
holds not just the portage tree but all that is Gentoo - .isos, portage
snapshots, stage tarballs?
"rsync -avr distro.ibiblio.org::distros/gentoo/ /var/gentoo_rsync/",
lifted right out of that server's MOTD example, fails saying "@ERROR:
Unknown module 'distros'".
"rsync -avz rsync://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/
gentoo_rsync" merely yields "@ERROR: Unknown module 'pub'", which
indicates to me that it's not wanting a path but some kind of "module."
