cf86e6c3cd
program that uses neither perl nor masses of memory when mirroring large collections (like at ftp.freebsd.org). I did the port but the author is Jens A Nilsson <jnilsson@ludd.luth.se>

Spegla is a mirror program for FTP sites. It was written because I
|
|
couldn't find any fast mirroring program for big mirrors. It makes a
|
|
complete mirror of a FTP area.
|
|
|
|
Spegla only take one command-line parameter, the config file. These
|
|
parameters can be specified in it:
|
|
|
|
- localdir where the mirror should go on your machine.
|
|
|
|
- remotedir directory at the FTP server.
|
|
|
|
- username user to log in as i.e. anonymous.
|
|
|
|
- password password to use i.e. your email address.
|
|
|
|
- host FTP server.
|
|
|
|
- retries how many retries before quit. Defaults to 20.
|
|
|
|
- retrytime how many seconds to wait before log in again after
|
|
a timeout. Defaults to 150.
|
|
|
|
- timeout how many seconds to wait to timeout. Defaults to 150.
|
|
|
|
- skipdir which directories to ignore remote and local, can be
|
|
several but only one per row.
|
|
|
|
- dirlink not used for now.
|
|
|
|
- logfile logfile, can be a file, stdout or stderr. Defaults
|
|
to stdout.
|
|
|
|
Blank lines and text after '#' are ignored.
|
|
|
|
This is what's in the config file I use for the FreeBSD mirror of

|
Walnut Creek's FreeBSD area.

retrytime = 120 # if network goes down don't consume
