Re: [Cooker] Proper rsync syntax for Cooker downloads

[Lonnie Borntreger]

This thread has been interesting. I've been mirroring using the
following command:

mirrordir -v \
  ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 \
  /home/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586

I'd like to try rsync, since I'm thinking that it would be more
bandwidth efficient.  So far no luck.  Here is what I tried (first try
as a "dry run" ... "-n"):

rsync -avz -r -n --delete --partial --progress --update \
  sunsite.uio.no:/linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 \
  /home/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586

All I see is:

poll: protocol failure in circuit setup
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

Am I doing something wrong, or does this site not support rsync?
