Is anyone else having trouble with rsync and Alien_Bob kde?
 
I've been using Eric's KDE packages since last June or so, and have been using the same command the whole time to download them. But today I went to get KDE 4.4.5 for the fresh 13.1 install I just did on my wife's laptop and KDE 4.4.85 (hell, yeah!) for my -current box. In both cases the command returned the same error. Here's the command and error message on my -current machine:

Code:
gene@lemon:~$  rsync -av --progress rsync://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/4.5.85 .

@ERROR: Unknown module 'ktown'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1506) [Receiver=3.0.7]

BTW, I'm getting the packages right now from this mirror:

http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/

I'd still like to know why the other one isn't working... is it me, or the mirror?

Try:

rsync -av --progress rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien-kde/4.5.85 .

it's working fine.... you missed the alien-kde directory

You guys missed my second post. I'm getting it from http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/ and that is working (damn thing is still downloading too; it hung up during the night).

What I don't get is why alien.slackbook.org/ktown/, which I have used before, is not working.

That has never been working as a rsync URL. It has always been rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien-kde/ . The URL "alien.slackbook.org/ktown/" has always and only been available as a http URL: http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/

Hmmmm... maybe I got turned 'rond the wrong way here. I know I've used that one, but I could've sworn it was with rsync. Well, never mind. Wouldn't be the first time i was wrong about something...
