I use mirror-2.3 for over a year now, and while it works very well for me, my experience with resource consumption is a little bit different. On my computer mirror keeps consuming more and more memory during the transfer. When I mirror a linux distribution for the first time, mirror needs huge amounts of swap space (more than 60 MBytes, I can not say exactly how much, because mirror died before completing the task). This is not a real problem, because you can always run mirror again and eventually it will have completed, but I have to ulimit the memory available to mirror, to keep the system usable. I would like to know if I am the only one with this experience, or if this is a memory leak in my Perl (4.036, from Slackware 2.2 or 2.3).
