[Biopython] rsync download of biopython problems

[Kevin Lam]

Hi Peter,
git works fine for me!
ok lemme explain how i got there..

from http://www.biopython.org/wiki/CVS
i followed this link http://cvs.biopython.org/
which redirected me to http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/SourceCode

i was on a fresh install system of CentOS so rsync was avail so i used that.

Cheers
Kevin
