Brant, I can see how this would work for directories but are you saying that rsync would actually go into the iso files to match them and then partially download? I'd think you'd need to mount them with -o loop first (and mounting the local one rw). Alas I don't have the bandwidth left to check that and it's only the first half of the month. Good luck, HarM
