My problem with wget, really, is that it decided to continue appending
data from somewhere on top of the file until it exceeded the original file
length. This doesn't happen all the time but it happened to me with at
least three ISOs. I'm using ncftpget now, got everything batched up in the
spool directory and have one ncftpbatch process running as a daemon. I
hope this will do the trick. :)
BTW, as far as rsync is concerned, where can I get information on the
public rsync servers for Mandrake and RedHat updates? I can't seem to find
this information in the Mandrake site. I can only find FTP mirrors. :)
