I'd like to try rsync to replace my wget -m... could someone give me the
command line?
I tried the cooker page's one to ftp.sunet.se but it doesn't give me
anyhing other than the files list.
thanks

rsync transfers only changed parts of files. The most notable case is
hdlists; with lftp you get 15MB every time, with rsycn you get several
KB (well, in order of magnitude :-). Another example is mdkinst. When
new installer is uploaded all dates change an lftp loads everything;
rsync checks if files were actually changed.
Rsync preserves "true" time that may be helpful sometimes.
Rsync looks generally fatser but it may be just my impression.
