Maybe a post-8.13 issue: Since 2c57c49cc39e8e7250495d4d7ce713ba06272a46, bootstrap fails downloading the .po files when behind a firewall, because rsync does not allow a proxy server to be set - well, at least my proxy server refuses to work together with rsync's RSYNC_PROXY environment variable.

A word to bandwidth: the --mirror option takes care about downloading only changed files. >From ae25e4072e87c8263240287844cd2fe42fe8e152 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernhard Voelker <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 13:28:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bootstrap: fallback to wget for downloading .po files via a proxy. * bootstrap (download_po_files): Fallback to wget when downloading the .po files via rsync failed.
