rsync - lots of uses - for pulling files off a server -and- not saturating the DSL line:

rsync -avz --port=4321 -e "ssh -p 4321" --bwlimit=120 --progress user@example.com:/home/cpmove-user.tar.gz .

-avz a - archive mode (preserve links/perms/modes) v - verbose, z - compression
--port=4321 -e "ssh -p 4321" Use a different ssh port if needed...
--bwlimit=120 Expressed in kBps - my 3Mb/s AT&T DSL line tops out at about 278kB/s - I set this to ~40% of that - the wife appreciates it :)
--progress See the progress as rsync is working..
