Those are the correct commands. man rsync:
rsync somehost.mydomain.com::
this would list all the anonymous rsync modules
available on the host somehost.mydomain.com.
the ouput from the site you discussed in your first post:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rsync rsync.kernel.org::
[motd snipped for clarity]
pub /pub area, except mirrors and distributions
dist Locally published distibutions
all The entire archive, bar nothing
so then you just type:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rsync rsync.kernel.org::dist/
And follow the directories till you get what you're looking for.
HTH,
Jesse
