Using rsync as repos

Hi,
I’m having a few issues with reliability with a hosted mirror in Australia
https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/. When doing a dup curl crashes when the rpm file is too big.

But the mirror also uses the rsync protocol which is fast and reliable.

I tried to replace the repo with this rsync://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ via Yast but it doesn’t like the rsync protocol and only seems to like using http, https, ftp.

Am I correct in now thinking that I can not use rsync as a repo protocol? The rsync mirrors are there only if I want to dump the repo to say my local drive?

Thanks
Chris.

Yes, you are correct.

Thanks. On to Plan B then :slight_smile:
