Try:
rsync -avlHP --delete --partial --progress --stats \
rsync://sunsite.uio.no:873/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 \
/home/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586
Or better still use our popular and faster package for the whole
Mandrake downloading job (select from: contrib, 8.0-tree, cooker, 8.0
updates, unsupported, freq ISOs, release ISOs, beta ISOs), available
from my web site:
http://www.ains.net.au/~ronst/
This includes the ability to specify selective downloads, initially
set to English only (save over 200 MB on a tree download).
