I used to use the dlc-origin rsync server as a source for my local
mirror copy.  After many years I do mirroring of various repos (various
linux distros, OI, etc) I found that rsync is far far better than either
http(s) or ftp as a mirror source.

That said, the OI ISO rsync server is not critical for me, but it is
really nice to have.  OTOH, if there is no other way I can more or less
easily switch to https://dlc.openindiana.org/ as my mirror source
(although ftp would be better than http(s), but AFAIK there is no ftp
for OI ISOs).


Thanks.
