rsync to OSGeo would definitely be easier - sounds like a plan to me. GeoTools download is done - came in at about 67 G - though I still need to do a bit of post processing, as the fetch from SF requires a query param that winds up getting included in the filename, and the rename command included in the script to fix this didn't work on MacOS. GeoServer download is in progress - looks like it's going to be quite a bit bigger, and take significantly longer.
