I am trying to mirror FreeBSD distributions for ftp.ee.freebsd.org. So far i not very successful in keeping my server up to date. For example last nite mirror retrieved onlyabout 50 files before ftp server went away. Restarting means retreieving another 30M of directory listing... There should be better way.
