In their attempts at being the first to get the ISOs from RHN, people hit the server(s) real hard and even get time-outs. What do they do with interrupted or corrupted downloads? Do they start over again from scratch, wasting lots of bandwidth? Or do they resume the previous download and at the end find out that the MD5 fingerprint of the file doesn't match? When that happens, rsync would be the cure. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+iHgG0iMVcrivHFQRApE8AJ9W968ea6czK1IIGJTIPDBBzj1YMQCcDF42 qW73lnH7JuDLttwlGWwb7WE= =y2Nl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
