rsync usually will speed up the upgrading of iso files from one to

small script to help the community.

-disc* /directory of isos
the rsync line here is smart wrapped and should be on one line in
your command or bash script file.
here is my output of this command which is saved as the file "iso"
sh iso

I have the RC3 images sitting in the target local directory, but they
don't appear to be getting updated, instead from the appearance of my
downloads directory after this has been running for about 10 minutes,
it apparently is going to download a fresh copy of everything, but
with a serial number appended to the end, and a . (dot) prefixed to
the newer filename. This doesn't strike me as the expected rsync
operation.
Can anyone explain why that is happening to this big & old dummy?
