uade chip rsync server online

uade project is collecting all kinds of exotica chips for one big collection. the emphasis is on non-protracker-variant songs. the collection will be available in public in the future. now we are testing the distribution system. the collection is still largely unfinished.
to use the rsync server on any proper operating system:
rsync -av shd.ton.tut.fi::chip /destination/path/
On the second time you sync, it will be a lot faster, since only the changes into the collection will be transfered. On the first you sync you'll get approximately 250MB of stuff.
submissions into the collection are welcome. you may send them by email to me.

If you just want to know what is available without transferring files, you can use:
mkdir empty
rsync -avn shd.ton.tut.fi::chip empty/

I'm using rsync under Windoze via Cygwin. Is there a setting to allow illegal characters such as ! and ? to be converted to something else?

I don't know. I removed all '?' characters from filenames. I would still have to rename '!' characters away.

Since last notification (2003.08.30) there is about 100 new songs on the server. Just do like the above rsync line.
This is probably the easiest and most efficient way to get yourself a decent collection of amiga exotic songs.
Why don't (un)exotica and modland servers already support rsync?

In Modland's case, because ftp is already leech-friendly enough... I don't see the need for rsync there. For people who only want the recent additions there are several mirroring tools.
And Modland doesn't run on unix...
ftp is slow in directory scanning

ftp protocol is very slow for mirroring big directory hierarchies. The directory scanning takes forever. The speed on which rsync decides which files to mirror is the greatest benefit.

exotica has rsync, but not for the public
Thats how the mirror works.
I'd have to speak to the sys admin about a public rsync server.

I forgot to mention that per file network round trips with ftp become large with thousands of files.
