access to mail archives via rsync

Hi,

In the zsh-announce archive, there is a README file that states:

This directory may also be downloaded via anonymous rsync; the URL is
<rsync.zsh.org::zsh-announce/>.  See the rsync(1) documentation for
details.

Tried the URL but either not using rsync correctly or something changed.
Got the following message:

@ERROR: Unknown module 'zsh-announce'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1817)
[Receiver=3.2.3]

Can any one verify if rsync of archive(s) are still available?  If so, are
the archives
for users and workers also available?

Thanks,

Jim Murphy

Run:

    rsync rsync.zsh.org::

to see a list of the modules available.

Ultimately, you want: rsync.zsh.org::mla/zsh-announce/

Yes.  I don't know/recall why the module definitions might have changed.
But the mailing-list archives are all under the "mla" module.

Thank you. I have used rsync for years to move files around, but never via
a server.
Have to say I learned something new for the day.  Thank you for that too,
Appreciate the quick response.

The primenet transition was 2 years ago and I guess the README language
predates that, so I'm voting to change README to match the implementation.

I'd do it but ENOTIME at the moment.

I may have misspoken here.

Done.

Thanks for the report.
