I think rsync://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists does not match https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists, can you verify?

I'm trying to maintain an rsync mirror of old-releases.ubuntu.com, and when I rsync the /ubuntu/dists directory, I get the same as what's found at . When I visit , I get the versions I expect.

From the rsync path, I get bionic, devel, focal, groovy, etc., but in the https path, I see artful, breezy, cosmic, etc.

Could you confirm whether there's a protocol mismatch, or perhaps I've made a mistake in some way?

Here's what I see:

# rsync -av --delete rsync:// .
