Simply configure mirror not to delete files then.
Kurt, this is the effect I got using "wget -m". Why switching to mirror script if wget is working ok?
At least for me, wget did NOT work right. Wget insisted on retrieving the symlinks on the remote ftp server as if they were files, thus doubling the data to download. The manpage (I think) says you can avoid that, but wget subbornly kept on retrieving everything twice. That was when I switched to "mirror" (as the ftpsite-admin discouraged the use of rsync). I don't understand what you have against mirror anyway, as it's just as easy as using wget... Greetings, Maarten
