Would somebody please point me to a solid FTP site mirroring script?

I know of two:

   Lee McLoughlin's "mirror", written in Perl, is a highly configurable
   FTP mirror.  Features include recursive subdirectory fetching,
   regular expression include/exclude filter, on the fly compression.
   Get it from ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/.

   GNU "wget", written in C, can do FTP and HTTP mirroring.  Features
   include recursive subdirectory fetching (for FTP), recursive link
   following (for HTTP/HTML), limited include/exclude filter, converting
   embedded references in HTML documents from absolute to relative URLs.
   Get it from ftp://ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu/.

Be careful of the 2.8 archive of this code.  It is not complete.  If you
do decide to use it, install 2.3 first.  (It has the missing code.)  I
have used both versions.  The only problem it has is that it does not
check to see if you have enough drive space before executing the code.  

The program can also be found in any of the CPAN archives.
