By default transfers only files missing locally or whose remote sizes or time-stamps have changed. Can reduce directory download using compressed listings in ls-lR.gz files or further using compressed differences of daily listings in ls-lR.patch.gz files. Can read mirrored Packages.gz files and mirror just their specified fraction of Debian from pool/. Amongst many flexible options it can gzip and split files. Tracks large distant FTP archives accurately with low download volume. . Simpler programs like "mirrordir", "rsync" or "wget" use less memory and may copy directory trees faster between local machines. . From mirror.tar.gz 2.9 in Perl by Lee McLoughlin.
