Re: [CentOS] Issues with successfully completing rsync with msync. centos.org

From: Christopher Hawker cwhawker1@gmail.com

I have been using this one: rsync -aqzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS /path/to/local/mirror/root If I can, I want to mirror: mirror.optus.net/centos as it is nearer my mirror server and the internet connection for the server is through Optus (in Sydney, AU).

A few notes: the -z should not do much since most files are compressed... You could save some bandwidth by using -P or --partial in case of an interruption. And maybe -l to keep symlinks. Replace -q with -v to see what is going on. Use -n to test more quickly. mirror.optus.net does not seem to offer rsync...
