There has been some issues with people not being able to download the release due to the fact that they did not understand how to load the private key so that rsync can make use of it.

There are two methods that can be used to provide your private key to rsync.

The first is to set it as an environment variable:
export RSYNC_RSH='ssh -2 -l applogic -i </path/to/private/key>'

The other is to pass the key info in the rsync command its self:
rsync -av --progress -e "ssh -i </path/to/private/key>" applogic@download.3tera.net:/home/applogic/2.4.8/* /root/applogic-2.4.8/

We will update the documentation to clearly state this.
