Description: keeps FTP archives up-to-date
 Mirror uses the FTP protocol to locally duplicate remote host files and
 directories selected with Perl regular expressions.  By default transfers
 only files missing locally or whose remote sizes or time-stamps have changed.
 Can reduce directory download using compressed listings in ls-lR.gz files 
 or further using compressed differences of daily listings in ls-lR.patch.gz
 files.  Can read mirrored Packages.gz files and mirror just their specified
 fraction of Debian from pool/.  Amongst many flexible options it can gzip
 and split files.  Tracks large distant FTP archives accurately with low 
 download volume.
 .
 Simpler programs like "mirrordir", "rsync" or "wget" use less memory and may 
 copy directory trees faster between local machines.
