all the big sites I know use "mirror" a perl package (parts of it written
by our own Amos Shapira), I have used it myself on countless sites. it's a
bit weird to set up the first time, but once you get a hold of it's config
file's logistics it's the best around. I sugest you upgrade to perl 5.004
and start running it (btw, there's even an RPM of it under the contrib
section of redhat's site and its mirrors)
so start learning about regular expressions if you don't know them already
:-)
