Hi, I was mirroring the UCSC genomebrowser in Ubuntu 12.04 following the steps mentioned [here][1]. The very last step was to download the "gbdb" data using the command:

    rsync -avzP --delete --max-delete=20 rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/mm9/ /home/genomebrowser/gbdb/mm9/

It ran for a long time, and after downloading 139GB in my `/home` partition, my OS complains since that overflows that partition size (that I misjudged at first by reading the tutorial where the author states only 62GB!). So can you tell me what is the size of the download from `ucsc/gbdb/mm9`? Or how can I get that information about that rsync server? Thanks.

I just got the answer by using the "rsync" command:

     rsync --size-only --recursive rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/mm9/

And the answer is, currently (today 1 July, 2012, 1:50PM UTC-5), the total size of that directory is 726.6236514812 GB that includes 1256 files in it. Thanks anyway.
