rsync -rvn mirror.csit.fsu.edu::debian-cd/

will show what they have in the debian-cd directory at mirror.csit.fsu.edu

to sync a file with yours, cd to the directory where your CD image file
is. Then

rsync --verbose --progress --stats --block-size=8192 rsync
mirror.csit.fsu.edu::debian-cd/one of the image files . (don't
forget the . - the block size, stats, progress, and verbose are all
optional)
