The first item in the FAQ covers this. It refers you to the Issues and Debugging where it suggests ways for you to try to figure out if the connection is going down (outside of rsync's control) or why the remote rsync is failing.
Since I didn't hear back from you, I'm closing this bug. If you have additional details that indicate that this is an rsync bug, feel free to reopen this.
