 description:
      - This module works like M(copy), but in reverse. It is used for fetching
        files from remote machines and storing them locally in a file tree,
-       organized by hostname. Note that this module was originally written to
-       transfer log files that were not necessarily present, therefore, by
-       default, if the source file is missing, it does not fail ; 
+       organized by hostname. Note that this module is written to transfer 
+       log files that might not be present, so a missing remote file won't
+       be an error unless fail_on_missing is set to 'yes'.
