<HTML><BODY> <div>Hey all.. <div> I was downloading Project Gutenberg ebooks via wget and it's real slow cuz it has to touch each book each time i sync. My friend Aaron mentioned to me that rsync would be a much faster method of downloading the books. Here's the command I was using for wgett o download them. I'm getting only zip files and excluding a number of VERY LARGE ones: wget -b -a pg.log -t 0 -N -T 60 -nH --cut-dirs=4 -P c:\gutenberg -r -l INF -R dblnr3.zip,fuman3.zip,hgp10.zip,hgp10a.zip,am3.zip,a3.zip,2city3.zip -A zip <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" target="_blank" href="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg">ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg</a> I want to do the same thing with rsync, this is the command i came up with: rsync -avHS --delete --exclude=dblnr3.zip,fuman3.zip,hgp10.zip,hgp10a.zip,am3.zip,a3.zip,2city3.zip --include=*.zip ftp@ftp.ibiblio.org::gutenberg C:\gutenberg I want to make the command for rsync the same as I did for wget. I'm using the official rsync "line" from gutenberg.org. Am I doing this right or can someone correct me? I don't know as much about rsync as I do about wget. </div> </div> <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top:10px;" /> <a href="http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/1615326657x4311227241x4298082137/aol?redir=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaol%2Ecom%2Fnewaol" target="_blank">Check out the new AOL</a>.
