Howdy, I have updated the mirror page for Scientific Linux. https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/ It has some tips on mirroring ... particularly about what would be a good idea on what to exclude, and the proper syntax for excluding. https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.tips It also has the size's of the distribution's, and the size if you exclude what we recommend you exclude. https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.size Plus it has the information, like before, of how to actually mirror using ftp https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.ftp and rsync https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.rsync On the subject of rsync, you'll notice on that page that is says we have a new server, rsync.scientificlinux.org. So people no longer have to send me e-mail to get rsync access to ftp.scientificlinux.org. But the syntax is one directory off, so you'll have to change your scripts a little bit.
