This got to bugging me. Many boxes of junk searches looking in notebooks
later:


Here is the information that I used. It is dated and I did have to
'edit' it to fit what I was doing, from where, and where I was doing it.
It was quite fast even on the 56k modem I was using at the time.

The *exact* line that I used for this experiment was this: (all on one
line - note the 'space' between .iso and .)

rsync -auvH
mirrors.usc.edu::mandrakelinux/official/iso/2007.0/DVD/mandriva-free-2007-DVD.iso
.

The information came from here:

Using rsync to Update Mandrake-Linux ISO Images

Sometimes we have more time than brains.  ;-)
