rsync options for mirroring the Cygwin distribution
I used this command line to copy the files from the pacific.net.au mirror. We get free traffic from this mirror due to our ISP being a member of pipenetworks.com
rsync -vva --exclude='*mail-archives*' --exclude='*src.tar.bz2' \ --delete --delete-excluded --delete-after \ --progress \ rsync://mirror.pacific.net.au/cygwin/ /dist/cygwin
This will remove old files, exclude the mailing list, and exclude src files.
