http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html says:
"To mirror the whole directory, rsync is the most efficient method:
rsync -x 2008 rsync://somehost/some/path/ /your/local/dir"
The -x option won't work on Ubuntu 9.04: man rsync says:
-x, --one-file-system don’t cross filesystem boundaries
The error I get is:
Unexpected remote arg: rsync://ftp.ctex.org/mirrors/texlive/tlnet/
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1220) [sender=3.0.5]
For Ubuntu
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.5 protocol version 30
I guess the line should read:
rsync -a --exclude=2008 rsync://somehost/some/path/ /your/local/dir
