Poor archive.progeny.com ...

First, rsync places a heavy load on the server, so please do not 
EVERYBODY run out and try this immediately.  I suggest, for initial 
rsyncs (when you need to download EVERYTHING), that folks follow this 
rotation:

Surname Begins With       Initial rysnc
ABC                          May 1
DEF                          May 2
GHI                          May 3
JKL                          May 4
MNO                          May 5
PQR                          May 6
STU                          May 7
VWX                          May 8
YZ                           May 9

Incremental rsync's don't place as much of a load on the server, so it 
won't matter as much after that...

Here is a script that will mirror the cygwin/release tree and 
setup.exe/setup.ini (you'll need to change LOCALDIR).  Also, you'll need 
to remove --dry-run from EXTRAOPTS.  If anybody can identify other 
mirrors that provide rsync: support, please post the appropriate MIRROR= 
line as a reply to this message.

---------------------
#!/bin/sh
MIRROR=rsync://archive.progeny.com/cygwin
LOCALDIR=/annex1/private/software/cygwin/
OPTS="-rlptgoDzu"
EXTRAOPTS="--delete -vv --dry-run"
RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync

${RSYNC} ${OPTS} ${EXTRAOPTS} ${MIRROR}/release ${LOCALDIR}
${RSYNC} ${OPTS} ${EXTRAOPTS} ${MIRROR}/setup.* ${LOCALDIR}
