I just took a few minutes to check the mirror list (mostly because the ibiblio rsync mirror is now so slow, a 9600 modem would be faster at sending bits across).
Incidentally, the Gutenberg rsync page[1] could use a minor optimization/update to reflect shorter, more-concise rsync options. Currently, it states: rsync -rlHtSv --delete Those can be shortened to: # or HavS/SHav if its easier to remember rsync -avHS --delete In my own case, I also use -z and --partial, and exclude many of the files that aren't necessary to pull across for my mirror (the DVD and enormous genome datafiles, for example). Hope this helps. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
