Jordan K. Hubbard cf86e6c3cd This has been on my TODO list for awhile. Spegla is an FTP mirroring
program that uses neither perl nor masses of memory when mirroring
large collections (like at ftp.freebsd.org).  I did the port but the
author is Jens A Nilsson <jnilsson@ludd.luth.se>

Spegla is a mirror program for FTP sites. It was written because I
couldn't find any fast mirroring program for big mirrors. It makes a
complete mirror of a FTP area.
Spegla only take one command-line parameter, the config file. These
parameters can be specified in it:
- localdir where the mirror should go on your machine.
- remotedir directory at the FTP server.
- username user to log in as i.e. anonymous.
- password password to use i.e. your email address.
- host FTP server.
- retries how many retries before quit. Defaults to 20.
- retrytime how many seconds to wait before log in again after
a timeout. Defaults to 150.
- timeout how many seconds to wait to timeout. Defaults to 150.
- skipdir which directories to ignore remote and local, can be
several but only one per row.
- dirlink not used for now.
- logfile logfile, can be a file, stdout or stderr. Defaults
to stdout.
Blank lines and text after '#' are ignored.
This is what's in the config file I use for the FreeBSD mirror of
Walnut Creek's FreeBSD area.
localdir = /ftp/pub/FreeBSD
remotedir = /pub/FreeBSD
username = anonymous
password = jnilsson@ludd.luth.se
host = ftp.freebsd.org
timeout = 120
retries = 300 # busy ftp server and lots of files.
# Takes lots of hours to complete
# and don't want to quit when we are
# almost finished.
retrytime = 120 # if network goes down don't consume
# all retries to fast.
logfile = freebsd.org.log
skipdir = distfiles # don't have room for this yet.
skipdir = incoming # no need for this.
