+ <question>
+ <p>Why should I use rsync mirrors?</p>
+ </question>
+ <answer><p>Rsync is a very fast protocol. It will update the description files
+faster than the old CVS update method. Furthermore, CVS updates are
+ always done from sourceforge.net while rsync updates can be done
+from a mirror close to you.</p></answer>

+ <answer>
+<p>Sometimes very strict firewalls forbid you to connect to
+rsync services. If that is the case simply continue using the CVS
+method

+ <question>
+ <p>I have switched to the rsync method now all info files from

+ </question>
+ <answer>
+<p>This is normal. The rsync update method will only update
+your active tree, e.g. 10.3, and it will also delete the CVS
+subdirectories.
