I use gftp to mirror most anything... but has the problem of leving behind
'old' packages, so you have to run compare windows in the tools option.
So, I went back to rsync with the --progress --partial --delete --update
enabled and forget about partial (incomplete packages) or deleting by hand
old packages. rsync its easy and clean to use.
I only use wget for downloading complete web sites.
so I guess each one of them has its own advantages and dis-advantages.
