I sure like to have continues use of FTP using wget. If RSYNC is not
possible, I prefer FTP when I replicate some major online repositories.
HTTP only repository sites are a crime since every site has a different
layout and approach - even mirrors make their own layout -, making
automated updates almost impossible. Let alone the constant
"improvements" done by those sites.
RSYNC would be a solution, but not all major sites offer this
possibility. Remains only FTP. Here it is almost universal in approach
and layouts - and mirrors are mostly real mirrors without fancy things -
and thus very well suited for automated updates.
Regards,
Frans.
