Is no one willing to extend a helping hand, instead of berating me for not being public spirited enough?
Rsync is a great protocol but as you can see from the 1 response to over 225 views, rsync is not popular. My preference is Azureus bittorrent client, followed by wget for ftp/http, and then rsync. The last time I did a rsync for a ISO is easily 6 months if not 9 months ago. I didn't know the syntax then (I copy & pasted a line I found via google) and I don't know it now. Sorry.
