Is the rsync mirror supposed to improve download times? I've seen "speedup 1.0" the last two times I've tried rsync -tL rsync://ftpmirror.your.org/wikimedia-dumps/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2
(and speedup 7000 when it doesn't need updating). Just wondering if I'm grabbing the wrong file or something.

Speedup 1.0 simply means it had to download the whole file.
It is very unlikely you can get any rsync speedup from a enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 to the next, given how they're highly compressed.
