You have NO idea how bad I am gritting my teeth and holding back.

Google for "windows ftp mirror", or better yet, search "download.com" and
you'll find something. Make sure to select the "freeware" filter setting,
otherwise you may get a suprise in a month or so.

> How long does it take your mirroring to run on a typical day?
Couldn't tell you ... yet... because I just got the sync up last night. But
I'm sure it all depends on how much time Al had that particular day to scan
stuff :)

I have some very serious bandwidth, and even I would surely not attempt to
pull everything every night, unchanged or not. So... yes, it does check for
changes only.

fmirror is configurable, much moreso than most mirror software I've seen for
strategies as to what to update.
