Mirror is good, but has some problems (v2.3 anyway):
- bad support for SOCKS firewalls (I've fixed this, but it's not
  an issue for me anymore)
- proxy ftp support needs a little work to get it going correctly
  (for fwtk or other proxy ftp firewalls)
- no support for 'remote account's (needed to mirror sunsolve stuff)
  I've put this in too.
- I didn't get any response from the maintainer in any of my mail
  to fix the above problems. I get the feeling that it's not maintained
  anymore...
- the mirror mailing list didn't work for me when I subscribed
