OK. That's an problem. We have some jpg pictures on our website that
have to be downloaded (synchronized) to a local machine.

On the website there's a backend to set the pictures keywords. Those
keywords will be stored within the picture's IPTC Tags.
Changing those IPTC Tags will normally not change the size but the time
stamp of the picture.

I've tried that perl "mirror" script. This will work.

I've tried 0.16.2. Changes in file size will be synchronized now.
