Following a suggestion by Doug Bates (half a year ago or so ...) I have set up an experimental rsync server for CRAN, i.e., it is now also possible to mirror CRAN using rsync for those who prefer it. The command rsync -rl ftp.tuwien.ac.at::CRAN /destination/dir should copy the complete CRAN ftp area into /destination/dir. Any comments on wether the server works are appreciated. I'm not an rsync expert, so I'm not sure if -rl is the right combination of options, but it seems to work for me (probably one also needs --delete to remove files that are not on CRAN anymore) ... I'm currently trying to learn rsync myself ...
