Although I'm not good at Perl, I just had a quick look at dftp: it uses a
separate pass to check MD5sums, while dmirror.py accumulates the MD5sum during
download.
With a fast link my approach may slow things down, but even with an old
386/25 connected to the net via ISDN there's no noticable degradation.
As a result dftp's 2nd pass might save the time spent in calculating MD5sums.
