The exclude list is stored in ~mirror/conf/mandrake.list. That's a list of rsync-formatted exclude wildcards. It seems that we mirror the ISOs manually (probably by leeching from a nearby Israeli server). The rest - rsync should do. Judging from the logs, though, I think the mirror site we use (carroll.cac.psu.edu) is simply not reliable enough to pull the entire (pretty large) update from it. Maybe we should change to a different rsync source.
