This is a problem on main server at mandrake. Not a mirror problem. I allready reported it. > > Isn't there any way to solve this problem? That's a lot of wasted > bandwidth.

Learn how to use rsync: rsync -aqH --bwlimit=SPEED_kB --no-whole-file server::share/ /my_mirror/ look --exclude option too. I really don't think fmirror is better than rsync, because is able to check more things about files which need to be sync. Moreover, if a file need to be resync, rsync will download only difference by looking md5sums. -- Linux pour Mac !? Enfin le moyen de transformer une pomme en v�ritable ordinateur. - JL.
