I use omi (ports/ftp/omi), because I don't trust rsync. Also, the servers which I'm mirroring from don't support rsync (I don't have access to ftp-master). Omi mirrors hardlink as separate files, because there is no easy way to detect hardlinks via FTP in a portable way. Unfortunately, the FTP protocol wasn't designed with mirroring in mind.
