I don't know which servers you have tried, but according to 
https://www.debian.org/mirror/list-full it doesn't look like the mirror at 
verdaguer-ftp.cesca.cat is available over rsync. That also explains why 
you get a timeout when the script tries to connect using rsync:

Connect how? A mirror can be available over e.g. http without being 
available over rsync.

I just tried to connect to the rsync mirror at ftp.at.debian.org (the 
first one in the list) and it worked. You might try that one or see if you 
can find another rsync mirror closer to you in the mirror list:
