For this type of mirroring - you may also like to explore
using rsync (free open source)
http://rsync.samba.org
http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14admin/rsync/
This can be far more effective than using FTP or HTTP
mirroring. The algorithm is open source so there
is no reason why it cannot be added into WGET.
