You should be able to figure out if a debian mirror supports rsync by
running:
rsync ftp.YOUR_PREFERED_COUNTRY_ABBREV_HERE.debian.org::
If the mirror supports rsync you will get a list of packages which can
then be rsync'ed by:
rsync ftp.YOUR_PREFERED_COUNTRY_ABBREV_HERE.debian.org::PACKAGE_NAME
/WHERE/TO/PUT/PACKAGE/LOCALLY
If you want to speed things up a bit by not getting stuff for other
architectures you can
build an exclude file to exclude the binaries for the architectures you
dont want.
I regularly mirror debian here by using
rsync -atzvrl --progress --exclude-from ../exclude-list-Debian
ftp.COUNTRY.debian.org::debian .
Using the attached exclude-list. This will mirror pretty much everything
for i386 but leave out arm,
alpha, hppa, hurd, hurd-i386, mips etc etc...
Happy hacking,
