rsync or wget?

[David Fokkema <dfokkema@ileos.nl>]

Hi group,

I've just installed apt-proxy. Should I use rsync or wget for fetching
packages? I don't really understand the differences. I do understand
that rsync can sync to filesystems by only downloading the differences,
but apt-proxy knows what it needs to download, right? Only one package,
or a list or something like that, not a whole filesystem. And once a
transfer is started, what is the difference in speed between rsync and
wget? Does rsync do something very smart?

So, basically: should I use rsync or ftp or http servers in my
apt-proxy.conf?

TIA,
David
