The mirroring how-to has examples of how just to get particular file types (you can do it via include, or exclude). If you're having trouble, post your syntax here and I or others will help figure it out. If you just want a good subset to work with and don't have a lotta bandwidth, I could ship you a drive. -- Greg On Sat, Jul 21, 2012 at 05:53:09PM -0400, Bowerbird@aol.com wrote:

greg-

thank you for the quick response. :+)

and i apologize for my lack of proper jargon, since i don't want to mount a "mirror", per se, but merely _some_ of the many files available.

specifically, i would copy the *.txt files and the graphics, and only -- for now -- english books. (although that last condition might be difficult.)

i now understand that i should be using rsync, rather than curl or wget, and i will do just that.

if it is easy enough that someone just tells me how to have rsync get that subset, many thanks. otherwise i will go and read the fucking manual.
