rsync remote.mirror.site::
will list all the site's available modules for you. The module name
usually coincides with a step in the actual path, the module idea is
only a 'shortcut' to reduce common path lengths.
rsync remote.mirror.site::Mandrake-iso
will get you a list of what is available from that library.
rsync -n --progress --stats \
remote.mirror.site::Mandrake-iso/ \
/localpath/to/iso
sets up a dry run (no downloading) which will give you a list of the
full names of what would otherwise be downloaded.
Or, once you know where the library name points to, use ftp or http
to work out the rest of the path and to see what will be downloaded.
