- added -z for rsync:// protocol by default.
Ugh... -z may be a very bad idea. If you have a fast connection to the
mirror (e.g. a local mirror, and I would presume those using rsync have
local mirrors since not many mirrors provide rsync access and those that
do usually severally limit the number of clients) then compression will
usually make things slower.
besides it is not nice on the CPU of the mirrors, sunet.se i.e. asks people
not to set -z
MOTD: We *don't* suggest use of '-z' option, as most of the files here are
MOTD: already compressed, and running compression is CPU intensive thing
MOTD: anyway. Just *wait*, and the transfer will eventually complete.
