There is never any need to redownload.

Just use

rsync -avP --stats


Not all servers support rsync, in fact I think there are few that do.
Most that I use do. Here's how to find out:

rsync rsync://ftp.sunet.se/ (or whaver server you choose - if it is an http server, change http to ftp).

If this gives you the server's message of the day and a list of the available rsync download modules you are in business.

But I found it very useful when downloading the 9.0 betas and RCs (it
downloaded only what had changed).

Best the man page regarding the flags as the clobbering / replacing ones
are quite important :-)
