Sitecopy is intended for keeping a remote site in sync with the local master version (e.g. uploading your personal website to a server on which you have ftp access). It's isn't great for keeping a local mirror of a remote master. From sitecopy's website: "But, sitecopy does not go to the FTP server and see what's there every time - this is the fundamental difference between sitecopy and mirror." This seems to be a problem, to me. Mebbe the 'mirror' perl script is the real way to go, here, rather than kludged-up scripts around wget...but then, 'mirror' only works with ftp site, and doesn't do http downloads (e.g. http://mirrors.rcn.net/) --Chuck
