I copied this file from a special version of rsync on someones
's website somewhere. I can't remember exactly where but credit goes to
them. The exclude file will cut off about 250 megs of download. Here's
the command with my favorite rsync servers (you can substitute your own
server and change the switches and path as needed):
rsync -avu --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/rsync_exclude
rsync://rsync.kddlabs.co.jp/cooker/cooker/ /mnt/hda6/
rsync -avu --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/rsync_exclude
rsync://rsync.proxad.net/mandrake-devel/cooker/ /mnt/hda6/
rsync -avu --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/rsync_exclude
rsync://ftp.sunet.se/Mandrake-devel/cooker/ /mnt/hda6/
rsync -avu --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/rsync_exclude
rsync://ftp.wtfo.com/man-devel/cooker/ /mnt/hda6/
Each of those rsync commands is only one line though they are written as
two lines because of the editor.
and the rsync_exclude file:

This copies the same set of files you would find on a mandrake cd.
There is more if you go up one branch on the directory into
mandrake-devel but that's way too much for me. As is it's 1.1 GB
(1,189,304,024 bytes).
