Find an rsync mirror.
Do not use --checksum, the host will be upset with you. The time I
needed to do it (and the time I was told not to --checksum), rsync
wasn't doing anything, I think because the local time and size matched.
What eventually worked was copying the image with dd, using blocksize
and count to copy 1k less than the actual size. I then used rsync to
update that and it was all over almost instantly.
I don't understand _how_ it did it, but I _know_ it's magic.
