what is the best way to mirror a ftp site? i have ftp'd down most of SUSE 9, but it closes the connection towards the end. is there a way to continue the download without overwriting whats already there?
I haven't used this, but it looks like it might do what you need. I show the Debian package description because that's handy. Presumably you can grab it in some form for whatever you're running.
