There's a bug in mirror - it doesn't restart interrupted files.
It also has a y2k problem. This is easily fixed:
[summer@dugite summer]$ tail /usr/lib/mirror/dateconv.pl
sub main'time_to_standard
{
package dateconv;
local( $time ) = @_;
local( $sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst ) =
gmtime( $time );
return sprintf( "%2d $months[ $mon + 1 ] %2d %02d:%02d", $mday,
1900+$year, $hour, $min );
}
[summer@dugite summer]$
The return statement here is corrected.
Here are my changes to /usr/bin/mirror - not all related to the
problem, but you will probably want them.

Distribution vendors should incorporate these changes; I've probably
not reported them to anyone other than the author and he doesn't
respond.
