rsync is the easiest on your system - you must use the package from slink and find a site that supports anon rsync (or get a login at a site that supports rsync but not anon-rsync) mirror is a bloated dog from hell :) It works all right if you give it lots of RAM to play with. I've had it puke on machines with 64MB of RAM, so beware :) I don't use wget, so can't help you there. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
