Ben,

That works after there's a copy of the current directory tree.

Yep. Except,

rsync -avz https://rsync.osuosl.org/pub/slackware64-14.2/ .
ssh: Could not resolve hostname https: Name or service not known
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.3]
