rsync is a beautiful thing. However, many mirrors are small sites, doing their best to cooperate. I used to run a mirror (and did support rsync) but the sheer volume of connections pretty much drowned me out. :-( It was hard to support any real downloads when my server had an average of 100 rsync connections active at any time... So again, one way or another courtesy in downloading is a necessary thing. -- Rodolfo J.
