Are you aware of the fact that you have just (unnecessarily of course)
posted a password to a public mailing list?!?

The following works for me:

rsync --recursive --password-file=/path/to/passwdfile rsync://mirroring@mplayerhq.hu:2009/ftp/ /path/to/destination/
rsync --recursive --password-file=/path/to/passwdfile rsync://mirroring@mplayerhq.hu:2009/www/ /path/to/destination/

The passwd file must not be world readable.

I don't know, Arpi?
