Thank you. I have checked out the shell script for mirroring. I read the notes in the script. My company may have a few user of portsnap. But they usually complain about the portsnap mirror on the internet is so slow. My company doesn't have a proxy, it seems to be using NAT. So if I change the interval of running the mirror script to a few hours, it should not consume lots of existing mirrors bandwidth?
