We are unable to offer rsync:// or ftp:// from planet.openstreetmap.org 
due to port filtering outside our control.
Let me know the IP address (offlist) used for downloading the planet 
files and I'll add it to the mirror redirect exclusion list.

Alternatively pass "?nomirror" to the url to not be redirected eg:
eg: http://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet-090218.osm.bz2?nomirror
Please try use the mirror if at all possible.

If the above is still not acceptable... chat to me (offlist). 
rsync+ssh:// is an option, but it has its own drawbacks.
