   I have been battling with the configuration for days, trying to decide
how to split the source and destination address information to get the
correct results, but I think I may now have something that works. You will
find ftpsync hidden in the Debian web pages about mirrors, although
anonftpsync is no longer supplied. It can create an rsync mirror of the
current Debian site together with your selection from all the architectures
and distributions from old stable to unstable and experimental. I can then
take the completed mirror offline and use it elsewhere, returning to do
another rsync run later. If you decide to try it yourself I suggest you
check whether my configuration has really worked for me this time.
