What Is The Total Size Of Hgdownload.Cse.Ucsc.Edu/Gbdb/Mm9

Question

Hi, I was mirroring the UCSC genomebrowser in Ubuntu 12.04 following the steps mentioned here. 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.
