I'm not aware of a browser that will do rsync...it's a command line
thing. Just enter the appropriate rsync command from a prompt.
Something like:
rsync server::path/to/file.iso local.file.iso
If you do this with a partial or corrupt version of local.file.iso
already present on your system, rsync will skip any chunks of the iso
image that don't need to be re-downloaded, greatly speeding up the process.
