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.
