No problem.  I started using rsync when I started mirroring
Mandrake cooker.  It's quite nice.  In addition, someone wrote
a script for mirroring mandrake that will do nice things like
parse the rpm file name format and if it's just a release change,
name the old file to the new name and rsync on that.  (Comes in
handy when mandrake does something like sign all their packages
with a new signature and bump up the release tag.  All the files
were still the same with only the headers differing...)

Rsync over ssh is cool too...
