Ahh, the connection is treating me bad, I've been trying like 3 times with a crontab-wget line.

I heavily tried to do an rsync, some time ago, to mirror a repository and keep some local updated packages here for the local servers and some workstations but just errors appeared to me when I tried to do so, all seem to me like have no read enough about it or that a top level firewall (which I've no control of) in the intranet is blockin it. I am studying firewalls now to have more arguments about this issue and be able to use the wonderful-necessary rsync tool, that I think should study a little more. By now, I will delete and redownload the entire file using my friendly wget again (hoping the best) and will write you back the results. > Cheers, > MaZe. Regards, --alain
