There is a new version of the troels.rsync2.pl components on my web site:

http://www.ains.net.au/~ronst/

troels.rsync2.pl is a free automated downloader for all of mandrake's 
output and builds into the following directory structure which you must 
supply to it.

|-- 8.0
|   |-- 8.0-iso
|   |-- 8.0-tree
|   |-- 8.0-unsupported
|   `-- 8.0-updates
|-- 8.1
|   |-- 8,1-freq
|   `-- 8.1-updates
|-- 8.2
|   |-- 8.2-contrib
|   |-- 8.2-tree
|   |-- 8.2-unsupported
|   `-- 8.2-updates
|-- cooker-tree
|-- iso-1
|   `-- 8.2
|-- iso-2
|   `-- 8.2

It does not download 8.0 or 8.1 - these are for your archive.

If you are a new setup, you must use rsync -av <source> <detination> to 
copy your previously downloaded files into the above structure so that 
the file dating is preserved.  Without this, they will be dowmloaded all 
over again.  Read the readme.html from my web site.

It is faster than any other ftp product because it only downloads 
English components and because it changes the name of any existing local 
matching components so that rsync uses its update-in-place facility 
rather than downloading the entire updated component.
