</span>It took me a while to figure out what is it that you're asking about. I looked<br>
at the local mirror instructions[1], and that helped. You probably did something<br>
like:<br>
<br>
rsync -aH --delete rsync://<a href="http://rsync.opencsw.org/opencsw/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">rsync.opencsw.org/<wbr>opencsw/</a> /export/mirror/opencsw<br>
<br>
…and you're asking if you can use something else instead of<br>
"rsync://<a href="http://rsync.opencsw.org/opencsw/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">rsync.opencsw.org/<wbr>opencsw/</a>". I think you can, but this depends on the<br>
mirror you choose. Depending on the mirror you choose from [2], you might use<br>
FTP, HTTP and/or sync. To discover whether a certain mirror supports rsync or<br>
not, try looking for information on their website, or just try querying it using<br>
rsync. For example, I tried this as a test:<br>
<br>
rsync rsync://<a href="http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/opencsw/README" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp.heanet.ie/pub/<wbr>opencsw/README</a> .<br>
<br>
…and it worked.<br>
