I tried this on my Linux machine:
$ (export RSYNC_RSH=lol; rsync -v --dry-run rsync.kernel.org::mirrors/debian-cd/2.1_r4/i386/binary-i386-1.iso .)

I don't know how you did it, but I surely can't reproduce an error with "::"...

--partial _is_ supported. I've done a little bit of research, and it seems
that --partial will cause rsync to _replace_ your pseudo-image with the
already-downloaded part (so you lose your pseudo-image) and only if killed
"neatly" i.e. with Ctrl-C which does strange things in Windows most of the
time. So a next rsync will restart with the partial correct image, but it will
fully download the rest and not use the pseudo-image any more. So this is
definately _not_ a "restart" thing like make-pseudo-image has.

Please try to reproduce it, and tell me the _exact_ command line, so that I
can verify it on a Win98 machine.

Sounds interesting. I'll investigate it.
