    If you want to download from ftp.free.fr first make sure there is an
    rsync server willing to serve you:

    $rsync ftp.free.fr:: (Note no ftp:// here)
    rsync: failed to connect to ftp.free.fr: Connection refused (111)
    rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(99)
    $

    It does not seem to be the case.

    Anyhow if there was one, it would have replied with the names of the
    rsync packages available.

    Let us try download.linuxtag.org:

    $ rsync download.linuxtag.org::
    knoppix KNOPPIX rsync repository
    OpenBSD OpenBSD rsync repository
    $

    Now there is progress.

    Next step:

    $ rsync download.linuxtag.org::knoppix/dvd/

    $

    Now I can download the dvd using

    $ rsync -av --progress --partial download.linuxtag.org::knoppix/dvd/KNOPPIX_V4.0DVD-2005-08-16-EN* .

    to download all the files starting with KNOPPIX_V4.0DVD-2005-08-16-EN
    to the directory from where I am working.

    Regards
    Johann
