Can you try doing a very verbose manual test and capture the output?

Example:

mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test
rsync -avvvvv rsync://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2 | head -n20

Output:

opening tcp connection to slackbuilds.org port 873
connection via http proxy 192.168.1.2 port 33000
Connected to 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2)
msg checking charset: UTF-8
sending daemon args: --server --sender -vvvvvlogDtpre.iLsfxC . slackbuilds/14.2  (5 args)
(Client) Protocol versions: remote=31, negotiated=31
FILE_STRUCT_LEN=24, EXTRA_LEN=4
receiving incremental file list
uid 1016(slackbuilds) maps to 1016
process has 14 gids:  7 10 11 17 18 19 20 83 84 86 93 100 210 234
gid 1016(slackbuilds) maps to 1016
recv_file_name(14.2)
received 1 names
[Receiver] flist start=1, used=1, low=0, high=0
[Receiver] i=1 1 14.2/ mode=040755 len=4,096 gid=(1016) flags=1405
recv_file_list done
[Receiver] receiving flist for dir 0
...

Ctrl-C it when the output freezes. Adjust the head -n value as necessary.

In the above example my proxy is on 192.168.1.2 port 33000.

That may give some clue to the problem.

There are no threads in a.b.p.erotica,  so there's no  gain in using a
