I'd recommend "omi" (ports/ftp/omi), being the author of it... :-)
Seriously, we're using omi exclusively for almost two years
now to mirror various stuff on the university's main FTP
server (which also happens to be ftp7.de.freebsd.org).
We tried several other mirroring programs before, and they
all had problems, so I started writing omi. The goal was to
make it reliable, efficient and fairly easy to use.
Well, even our NT admin uses it to mirror his service packs
and NT hot fixes, what more could I say... :-)

Oliver
