Ron Stodden makes a package that does just that. I can't recall the name right off the top of my head, but it's an Aussie website address. > I understand URPMI works with rsync mirrors as well but it > doesn't seem to be working properly on my work box but I need to > investigate further. If you're investigating rsync, just use rsync manually. However, your attempts to do things are hampered by the fact that the mirrors are busy with people trying to download RC's because we just released. If you try to ftp to the same mirror 10 times in a row, you might find that you get rejected a few times because the anonymous limit has been hit. Blue skies...
