rsync -P --checksum -L --recursive --times rsync://rsync.openbsdmirror.org/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/

Will even use the already available packages. So if your ftp download to
the rsync mirror would be 100kb/s you get a download like 200kb/s

And if there was nothing to update rsync won't do anything.
