Hey, its working.

$ rsync -aHPv --block-size=8192
cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/ .

But it seems that it will download the whole DVD repository, I just
want DVD-1 and keep syncing to it every week.

I do not want to mirror (as people do to serve others) but just sync
for myself.

I did a CTRL+C and tried again.

~/beta2rsync$ rsync -aHPv --block-size=8192
