And (shameless plug) cvsup :-) With rsync, I've wondered about creating a hidden shaddow of the FTP area that didn't contain gz/bz files. rsync works best against uncompressed archives. Giving official shaddows access to that should result in a significant reduction in bandwidth (at a cost of cpu performance at the remote end).
