Hi. Yes, I'm vaguely familiar with rsync. The problem is that I don't want each and every file posted. I don't download html and 8-bit files for example. I only download the zipped plain text files. Also I don't want some religious works. Therefore rsync won't help me.
I'm sorry... what? You can rsync exactly what files you wish, recursively or not, pick and choose, with rsync... using the right options. I mirror Gutenberg here with rsync, skipping the DVD files, .mp3 files, .rar files and a few others, getting only the useful copies of books. What part of rsync's usage is confusing you? David A.
