I have to echo what David said. Rather than chaining yourself to FTP, you should look more deeply at what rsync is capable of. If you need, I could probably help you define an rsync line that gets what you want and ONLY what you want (I myself already have one that pulls ONLY the zip files).
Here's mine... rsync -avzprlHtPS --delete --exclude=[0-9]*.txt \ --exclude=*.iso --exclude=*.rar --exclude=*.ISO \ --exclude=*.mp3 --exclude=pgdvd* \ ftp@ftp.ibiblio.org::gutenberg Gutenberg This gives me ~34GiB of data... enough for me to use as a viable mirror.
