Thanks.  Changed the URL and automated the process:

touch -r MD5SUMS MD5SUMS.ts
wget -Nc http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/MD5SUMS
[ MD5SUMS -nt MD5SUMS.ts ] &&
grep -o lucid.*iso$ MD5SUMS | while read iso ; do
  zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/${iso}.zsync &
done
rm MD5SUMS.ts

Regards,
- Robert
