Ok, here it is.
bob at debian:~/archive/knoppix$ rsync -vv 
rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso 
KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso
opening tcp connection to ftp.gwdg.de port 873
KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso is uptodate
wrote 102 bytes  read 85 bytes  41.56 bytes/sec
total size is 732921856  speedup is 3919368.21

And the md5sum check

bob at debian:~/archive/knoppix$ md5sum -c KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso.md5
md5sum: MD5 check failed for 'KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso'

I downloaded the md5sum again just to be sure but it still fails.

Thanks
