What seems strange to me is that I have been using the Uninett mirror with great success. What path are you using to sync from? I use this (reconstructed from Ron Stodden's Troels perl script): my $server_no = "rsync://ftp.uninett.no:873"; my $store = "/mnt"; sync_profile_rsync("$server_no/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/", "$store/cooker/i586/"); my $rsync_options = '--delete'; my $args = ("rsync -av -H -P --progress --stats $options --exclude-from=$exclude_file $remotemirror/ $localmirror/"); Yielding: rsync -av -H -P --progress --stats --delete --exclude-from=$exclude_file rsync://ftp.uninett.no:873/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ /mnt/cooker/i586/ I use an empty exclude file right now, so for me, I have the equivalent of: rsync -avHP --delete rsync://ftp.uninett.no:873/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ /mnt/cooker/i586/ If you leave off all the fluffy options...
