I pulled that version of wget out of the debian squeeze/sid arm system that LoneTech made available for emulation under qemu. That system is binary compatible with what's on the PocketBook Pro devices. I suspect you could pull out whatever binary you wanted to run and install it on the reader, as long as you made sure you also got whatever missing libraries you needed for it.

Anyway, see the first message in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=114745 if you want to get LoneTech's copy of debian for qemu.

Edit: Crap! I started up the system under qemu and realized that it doesn't contain rsync. Oh well, maybe you can find other goodies in there. You can probably find rsync in the proper debian repository.
