Would that it were so easy. I'm stuck here with having to download under
WinDoze 'til I can afford to replace the WinModem. That will be a while as
I'm saving every penny for getting married in a few months...

Here's my script:
#!/bin/bash
rsync -vrltDu --rsh ssh --delete \
rsync://rufus.w3.org/linux/MandrakeCooker/oxygen/ \
/mnt/local/cdrimage/oxygen/
You will need to change the last line to where you want the mirror placed
locally (700Mb).
Of course, other problems with using rsync might be lack of disk space (get
more), or unaffordable ISP charges (use a free one, or a free nightime
plan).
