ArchSnaps -- Daily Snapshots Downloader
Hi guys, I've coded a new tiny bash script that can be run from cron. It can download any architecture selected automatically by running simple commands.
See this wiki page for more details and code it self at http://wiki.gotux.net/code/bash/archsnaps I hope this helps some one else, like it does me 
Thanks.
EDITED: See ArchDL instead now.

Re: ArchSnaps -- Daily Snapshots Downloader
You should encourage people to fill in different mirrors. Imagine everybody downloading the releng image every day and you'd have to pay for traffic.

Re: ArchSnaps -- Daily Snapshots Downloader
Well this is up to everyone who uses the script ;-) This script can be easily modified to download from new mirror or create your own mirror with it.

Re: ArchSnaps -- Daily Snapshots Downloader
I just tried it. I must have misinterpreted the "daily", it works well for downloading a single iso manually. Now I'm even lazier than before :-D

@Awebb, lol well... I've coded this script to help me grab daily iso's without me actually doing all the extra work, and I can put this in cron and add extra option to rotate the iso's
