Hey,
I know you can use rsync to make a mirror on your computer of all of the PG books. I'd like to do this but have it only download the zip files, excluding everything else. I am using windows for this purpose so I have cygwin installed with rsync available. I know there's a command line for rsync available on PG but I need to know how to change the line so i can tell rsync to get only the zip files and nothing else. Aaron told me some on here use it so i hope someone on here can help me :-d
Trial and error helps. man 1 rsync helps. This might help: rsync -avzprlHtPS --delete --exclude=[0-9]*.txt --exclude=*.iso \ --exclude=*.rar --exclude=*.ISO --exclude=*.mp3 --exclude=pgdvd* \ user@remote.pg.mirror.site::gutenberg Gutenberg -- David A.
