Trouble mirroring ftp.debian.org, large FTP sites
I've been mirroring ftp.debian.org and a few other sites to make custom
CD-ROMs for friends and family. I have a 64K nailed-up ISDN connection
I use for this.
The problem I keep running into with mirror is that it usually fails with
timed-out transfers, and then returns a zero exit status. So the only
way I can get my mirror up-to-date is to run a script that continuously
re-runs mirror. I can then kill this script by hand when it looks like
my archive is up-to-date.
It would be nice if I could just have mirror re-run as long as it has not
successfully completed a full pass. Then I could schedule it from cron...
Has anyone run into similar problems mirroring large FTP sites?
Any solutions? Debian is 1.7gb and growing!
Thanks,
Jeff
