Sitecopy is intended for keeping a remote site in sync with the local
master version (e.g. uploading your personal website to a server on
which you have ftp access). It's isn't great for keeping a local mirror
of a remote master. From sitecopy's website:
"But, sitecopy does not go to the FTP server and see what's there every
time - this is the fundamental difference between sitecopy and mirror."
This seems to be a problem, to me. Mebbe the 'mirror' perl script is
the real way to go, here, rather than kludged-up scripts around
wget...but then, 'mirror' only works with ftp site, and doesn't do http
downloads (e.g. http://mirrors.rcn.net/)
