I'm pretty close to getting this mirror to work.  I'm testing with the
sample cfg you provided but I changed it a little.  This is what I have in
a file called mirror.updates73.

package=updates73
        site=ftp.uvsq.fr
        remote_dir=/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/
        local_dir=/public/


Now when I type  mirror -n mirror.updates73 I get the following but it
never changes.  I think the -n option is for testing but how long do I have
to wait before I see soemthing happen?  WHat should i expect to see?

package=updates73 ftp.uvsq.fr:/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/

I use the application mirror which you'll find on the Powertools 7.1 CD.
Install the rpm, edit /etc/mirror.defaults to match yours needs and make
a mirror configuration file. Mine looks like:

package=updates62
        site=ftp.uvsq.fr
        remote_dir=/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/6.2/en/os/
        local_dir=/var/ftp/pub/redhat/linux/updates/6.2/en/os/
        exclude_patt=(sparc.*)

package=updates73
        site=ftp.uvsq.fr
        remote_dir=/pub/redhat/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/
        local_dir=/var/ftp/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/


You'll want to use the nearest mirror to you (go check on Red Hat's
website) instead of ftp.uvsq.fr .
Run the command "mirror <config-file>" from time to time and
you're all set.

Beware! This requires a *lot* of disk space (1Go for RH62, 530Mo
for RH73).
