Is the AREDN website hosted anywhere on the MESH network?
Maybe I've completely missed it...but is there a link to the AREDNMESH.org website, firmware, etc. available via the mesh network?

AREDN firmware available on an AREDN network?
Hi, Scott:

Yes, kinda.
I often have the current stable and nightly sysupgrade.bin files on
http://nc8q-server.local.mesh/mesh/index.php

Look for:
- Stable AREDN firmware releases
- Nightly Builds

Several different local mesh
Several different local mesh networks have implemented their own local firmware repositories. 
Here are some instructions on how to set one up.

I updated the HowTo doc in
I updated the HowTo doc in the online documentation because we can now use the recommended rsync method of getting everything from downloads.arednmesh.org.  I think all of your entries look correct, so it must be something in how wget returns stuff.  The rsync method should work better.  This was not available on the old downloads server, but rsync is the method I've used and tested on our local mesh.

The rsync command seems to copy every file every time I run it
The rsync command seems to copy every file every time I run it.
Is there a modifier to only transfer files newer than the destination?
I re-ran
rsync -rvP ...
and it appeared that every file was being transferred, again.

" Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a "quick check" algorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified
       time.   Any changes in the other preserved attributes (as requested by options) are made on the destination file directly when the quick check indicates that
       the file’s data does not need to be updated."

?

May need to add the --size-only flag

rsync has a bunch of options for what gets copied, and by default it will look for files whose size or modification timestamp are different.  Since we aren't necessarily guaranteed that our source and destination systems preserve the timestamps in the same way, I sometimes add the --size-only flag to rsync.  That reduces the copied files list to only those files whose size is different.

rsync --size-only
Hi, Steve:

Thanks.
Does this look sane?
nice -n 19 /usr/bin/rsync -rvP --size-only downloads.arednmesh.org::aredn_firmware /var/www/html/aredn/

Which displays:
gelmce@nc8q-server:/var/www/html/aredn $ sh rsync.sh
receiving incremental file list

sent 1,211 bytes  received 746,062 bytes  135,867.82 bytes/sec
total size is 11,640,692,803  speedup is 15,577.56
