I use 'rsync --delete --partial -avr
ftp.sunet.se::pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/ /mnt/Cooker'
The --delete tells it to delete files that don't exist at the remote site
(so I don't fill my drive up with old rpm's) and --partial in case I want to
stop halfway through, it will leave the partial file to resume later,
instead of deleting it.
