Use the right tools

To download a whole tree, or big files, prefer: rsync. This tool is able to restart a partial transfer in an efficient manner and maintain a clean mirror.

To maintain a mirror, please use at least these options:

-aH --partial
See the rsync documentation for more explanations.

Don't try to mirror using HTTP protocol, it's not designed for that purpose. You'd simply fail.

If you're maintaing a mirror and need an unlimited bandwidth, please contact me directly.
