Re: Mirror and ASCII transfer selection

Thank you for your answer.

I know about the size situation, but I don't care much if ascii files 
are untimely downloaded, in this case 99,99% are binary data, the rest 
is some descriptive files that are windows CR/LF formatted (in fact I'm 
anyway using mirror more because it is recursive than incremental since 
I'm downloading a whole bunch of data in an empty destination)

There is already a --ascii option to the mirror command (implies 
--ignore-size), which could be selectively applied to files matching a 
pattern.

In fact, I though afterwards the I could get the desired behaviour by 
running 2 successive mirror commands :
mirror --exclude my_pattern
mirror --include my_pattern --ascii
