There is a rsync howto in the forums. You shouldn't try to mirror all distfiles - it makes no sense. Mirror only those that are requested. Q: I run a private source mirror for my company. Can I still access the private master source mirror? A: Because our resources are limited, we need to ensure we allocate them in such a way to provide the maximum amount of benefit to our users. As such, we limit connections to our master rsync and distfile mirrors to public mirrors only. Users are welcome to use our regular mirror system to establish a private source mirror. -- Content-Type: text/explicit; charset=ISO-8859-666 (Parental Advisory) Content-Transfer-Warning: message contains innuendos not suited for children under the age of 18 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
