Valid for rsync but working with wget. The file's links *do* exist and can be downloaded via wget, wich admittedly has to be tweaked accordingly. It worked here for the ISO files issueing: wget -P ~/<local_dir> -nc -np -nd -nv -ErA "*.torrent","*.mirrorlist" http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/box/ > (created by mirrorbrain on-the-fly). > While the tracker also has a copy of the torrents, it is not the > recommended way to get them from the tracker. O.K. Indeed they contain information of "nearby" seeders which depend on your location.. > A combination of rsync and wget will be the best fit. i.e. retrieve > the list of files via rsync, and then use wget to get the file with an > appended ".torrent" from download.documentfoundation.org But issues might arise while syncing, done by a cronjob. If for example you want sync 4 times an hour (as I intended to) then 4 times an hour the torrent files are downloaded - and thus counted as download. This might affect stats significantly.
