Greetings! I've read that if I've downloaded a CD image and the MD5sum is wrong, then I can use rsync to just get the parts that are different from the remote file. I've read through the rsync manpage, but I still don't quite understand how I'm supposed to use the command. As an example, if there were to be an image at ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/iso/potato-1.iso (I know there's not, but I just need a "for instance") then from what I've gathered, I'd use the command:
rsync -avz ftp.debian.org:pub/iso/potato-1.iso potato-1.iso When I use this, though, I get timeout errors. I know this can't be right, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do it. Could anyone offer any help with this please? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch, Jeremy
