No, this is not about the speed (primarily).  Just about the quality of
data published via the protocol.  For example, with rsync I can be sure
that timestamps are okay, for example.  With ftp it usually works too,
but http is not so good and there is possibility that I might end up
re-downloading the same content again and again just because http might
fail to advertise mtime change (or no change, to be precise).

Over the years I switched all my mirrors to rsync from initial ftp (or
http) just because of this.

Thanks.  Please let me know once there is rsync back.

Sure, will do.


Thank you.
