OK that looks like what you want, so now just up-arrow and insert -avz to the command and add the " ." after to actually download it.

An interesting note. There appears to be a difference in the way rsync passes information between the version on 10.3 and the later versions. On 10.3 when you try and use the rsync:// protocol with a filename after the module, the server responds with the following error no matter how you quote or escape the ':' after X11: 11:24 ripper~/linux/ati/compiz> rsync -avz rsync://rsync.opensuse.org/buildservice-repos-main/X11\:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/i586 . rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.opensuse.org/buildservice-repos-main/X11 873: Name or service not known rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9] Now, on 10.3, you can use the rsync:// protocol to query the host/module, but no matter what you do, you can't get around the : in the path. Not with single-quotes; single-quotes with the colon escaped; double-quotes or double-quotes with the colon escaped. However, if you use the :: format on 10.3 the server does what it is supposed to do no matter how you escape or quote the colon: 11:25 ripper~/linux/ati/compiz> rsync -avz rsync.opensuse.org::buildservice-repos-main/X11\:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/i586 .

I still don't know 'why' it worked that way, but at least I understand 'what' was going on.... I tried and confirmed this behavior on two separate 10.3 boxes, one x86 and one x86_64. -- David C.
