thanks = --ignore0time seems to have sorted the excessive transfer of  unchanged files
but im getting ( for example ) this

mirror: Access failed: 553 Improper name (Date::Manip::Zones.3pm)
Mirroring directory `.cpan/build/Date-Manip-6.25-a4ESqu/examples'

can this be fixed ?

the only thing i can think of is that the remote server is in a
different timezone ( 8 hours hehind me )
Could that make  a difference ?
It could if the server has a bug in MDTM command (and also SITE UTIME or whatever
command is used to set modification time of the files).

You can try to use "mirror --ignore-time" or "set ftp:use-mdtm off".

If you turn on debug you will see what timestamp the server returns for MDTM
command and what commands lftp uses to set modification time of the files.
