Hello, I'd like to mirror SuSE 7.3 for the students of my school (everybody was impressed by my SuSE 7.2). We are behind are really overloaded firewall/proxy, so conserving bandwitdh is important. I tried to use wget using this command: wget ftp://ftp.iut-bm.univ-fcomte.fr/pub/Suse/suse/7.3/ -Y on -m -np

This seems to be going trough the HTTP proxy instead of the FTP one, but otherwise it works fine. The problem is related to the full-names directory of the distribution. This directory contains links to the corresponding packages in suse/somedir/. It seems that wget just resolves the links instead of recreating them locally. So basically, every package is downloaded twice...

So my question is: how to get the full-names directory right, using wget or something else.

BTW, some mirrors marked as complete on this page: http://www.suse.de/us/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html aren't complete after all (many packages are missing from the distributions).

Best regards, David Garnier
