wget is very nice and powerful, however it's incredibly slow - it takes me approximately 56 minutes to mirror the web site I'm mirroring, the site is only 4 megabytes and we're on a T1 - so it's not the network, my problem with it is that it downloads everything, instead of comparing and checking what has been updated, cvsup would be ideal, but not all sites are allowed to run a cvsup server, as is the case with this one.
