[mirror-admin] New mirror, setting up, getting impatient..

[Turgut Kalfaoglu]

Hello there.. greetings from Turkey.. I am setting up a Fedora mirror 
here, because I have been a very satisfied fedora user for ages.. 
Anyway, I followed the how-to, and have been rsync'ing for several days 
now. After checking out several, including those in my country, I 
started using mirrors2.kernel.org.

I guess it's because of the thousands of small files, but I am unable to 
use more of our bandwidth for the rsync. For several days now, it has 
been downloading .../releases/10/.... subtree.  I somehow wised up for 
../releases/12/.... and put the files from the beta 12 DVD I had 
lingering around, but can anyone recommend a faster way to download the 
lot? I hate to have so much idle bandwidth over the weekend :)

For example, I wish I could start several rsync's on different 
subdirectories so that the idle time would be lessened.

Many thanks, -turgut
