See the issues and debugging page for details on how to figure out why
the connection closed.  The first step listed for a daemon is to check
the log file, since it should tell you what reason the daemon gave for
the abnormal termination (assuming it didn't crash).  If it is exiting
with a timeout, try a more modern version of rsync.  If it is exiting
with a similar unexpected-close or write-failed error, then you have a
failing-connection problem outside of rsync that you need to solve.
