You can start several mirrors at once at the same target location. They will try to work together nicely, that is if a file is being modified by a mirror, then it won't be overwritten by other mirrors. So if those mirrors work from different sites, they will complete the job faster even if some of those sites are overloaded or down. -- Alexander. | software is knowlege
