I use cvsup to mirror about 50GB of FTP archives in addition to the
FreeBSD cvsup trees.  It works great.  About 75% of the time an rsync
took and about 20% of the time a mirror.pl took.  One nice thing is
that it balances the load between the server and client very nicely
both in terms of CPU as well as network load.

If you wanted to setup the server on ftp-master, I'd volunteer to
test it... ;-)

Old age is too high a price to pay for maturity.
