A.4. Using rsync

These sites make FreeBSD available through the rsync protocol. The rsync utility transfers only the differences between two sets of files. This is useful for mirror sites of the FreeBSD FTP server. The rsync suite is available for many operating systems, on FreeBSD, see the net/rsync port or use the package.
