I looked through most of the "official" ways of doing things (including the mirror script) and ended up writing my own because I didn't like the way the others were set up. (And because I needed an excuse to brush up on my Perl. :) I just wanted to mirror unstable, and I wanted to minimize the space needed. It's not terribly fault-tolerant, but it's VERY easy to debug. After the initial mirroring is done updates are usually done within 3 - 4 hours over a DSL line. (768 Kbps) If you can't get mirror working and want to try it just let me know. -Alex
