Hi! Phone fees prevent me to mirror over my modem. But since I have access to a fast connection at my university, I practice a 2-step method: Make a list of files to get on my local machine runing
"mirror -n <other options> | sed -n 's/^get file \(.*\) as .*/\1/' and use the fast connection to put them on a tape. Then I restore the tape at home and rerun mirror (still working on an offline sollution). Unpatched mirror needs to be connected during the list generation - even when used with a local_ls_lR_file (uhhh - expensive !!) I modified mirror (2.8-16bo) to avoid staying/getting online when run with -n and a local_ls_lR_file. I *think* I didn't break mirror when called without -n and/or local_ls_lR_file. Since someone asked for a similar solution some time ago, I think others may also be interested in this patch. I'd appreciate, if someone could test it. Since it is 2K gzipped I don't want to bother the list with it. Please ask and I'll send it to you. Maybe this could be include in the debian-package and/or forwarded upstream if it stands the test?
