I think rsync would have done the job but two things (keeping in mind I'm not an rsync expert): - You shouldn't specify the destination name, just the directory to put the iso file - You don't need the "-a" option, that's for archiving which substitutes several other options such as recursive file transfer (all files in a directory tree) and maintaining ownership and other stuff. - Even with those two problems it seems rsync is assuming a secure shell (ssh) file transfer when in this case you want it over http, don't have a clue why. Your sync command should probably be something like this: rsync -v http://fedora.osuos.org/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso /home/bobg/Downloads/ Another option which some people like over wget is curl. I like it because it has nice CLI status info. The command for it would look something like this: curl -L -O http://fedora.osuos.org/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso In this case you would want to be in the directory you want it downloaded to.
