You are correct, and I changed my script so I no longer pull the -current
nightly.

Is there an option for mirror (or another package) that's more
bandwidth-friendly?  I remember a few years ago there was a package called
fsp that was supposed to do that, but I think it got a bad rap because the
warez kiddies were using it because it could run unnoticed on a high port.

The real problem is that however much bandwidth YOU have, the FTP
machine that you're suckling off of does not.  Nightly feedings when
you aren't using them just puts a greater burden on the system for
no reason.
