Most of the scripts/methods I've seen which downloads Debian packages with rsync do only single file transfer. IMO this must be much more server friendly than a multi file transfer (no filelist).
Is it possible run a rsync server with anonymous login but restricted to single file transfer next to an rsync server with restricted login and multi file transfer? This would allow access for secondary Debian mirrors besides endusers. It also would allow to separate and measure the impact endusers have on rsync servers. Note: IMO a script like mine is also useful for secondary mirrors at least if not all architectures are mirrored. Could any mirror administrator make a test an publish any results? O.
