What is the problem with using rsync?        Many of the ftp://<whatever> can
be also accessed as an rsync server.     Just replace the ftp:// prefix with
rsync://.

Here's my script:

#!/bin/bash

rsync -vrltDu --rsh ssh --delete \
rsync://rufus.w3.org/linux/MandrakeCooker/oxygen/ \
/mnt/local/cdrimage/oxygen/


You will need to change the last line to where you want the mirror placed
locally (700Mb).

Of course, other problems with using rsync might be lack of disk space (get
more), or unaffordable ISP charges (use a free one, or a free nightime plan).
