I've been mirroring ftp.debian.org and a few other sites to make custom CD-ROMs for friends and family. I have a 64K nailed-up ISDN connection I use for this.
The problem I keep running into with mirror is that it usually fails with timed-out transfers, and then returns a zero exit status. So the only way I can get my mirror up-to-date is to run a script that continuously re-runs mirror. I can then kill this script by hand when it looks like my archive is up-to-date. It would be nice if I could just have mirror re-run as long as it has not successfully completed a full pass. Then I could schedule it from cron... Has anyone run into similar problems mirroring large FTP sites? Any solutions? Debian is 1.7gb and growing! Thanks, Jeff -- It's amazing: Each Windows release is slower, while Linux is speeding up...
