Why there is no rsync yet ?

It should be easy to add, but it still hasn't been added.
If it's just because Jimbo is too busy, could he give some other
person access to Wikipedia server so that rsync can be set up ?

The fact that tarball is generated only once per day is serious
problem for topological analysis that must be done in Polish
Wikipedia to make optimal start page.

Did you try the URL ending in ?action=links
There is a lot of unexplored stuff in the UseModWiki source code.
It's an amazing program.
