Re: [expert] Wget as a mirroring utility
Try use fmirror or rsync. TE Does anyone have an already-set-up mirror config file for the cooker? -- Best regards, Pipit

Wget has a lot of functions of a mirroring program, eg time-stamping and stuff, however, what it DOESN'T seem to do, is delete a local file that no longer exists on the mirrored ftp server, is there a way of telling it to do this? Or should I use one of the other mirroring tools... like mirror? :-) Does anyone have an already-set-up mirror config file for the cooker? Use lftp. I works fine for mirroring (timestamping, size comparison, mirror over ftp or http and ssl versions, and deletes local files not present in remote source). It is worth a look at. -- J.A.

Preferred is troels.rsync3.pl, which is in beta. Either will download only English components (so saving you 528MB for cooker) and will rename local RPMs so that rsync uses its very fast patch-in-place algorithm. As supplied troels.rsync3.pl will download Mandrake contrib, cooker, 7.2, unsupported, updates, and 7.2 isos. However, you must alter it to configure what you want to download, from where, and to where locally. You must have the local top-level directory structures already set up to match. -- Regards, Ron.
