Mirroring of www.openbsd.org

Hi all.

Again, the usual disclaimer about not trying to big up myself or my
sites, due to a limited bandwidth of 384 kbps upstream...

Due to the limited bandwidth, I wouldn't be of much help in mirroring
large-ish files and so I mirror the OpenBSD site. I've looked around
for an answer to this and found nothing, so I thought it worth asking
here.

Is there a method of syncing the web site files for use in these kind
of arrangements? I tried via CVSup and invariably had the files either
deleted, or reverted to 3.6 revisions. Maybe I just need to learn more
about CVS and I'm making a pig's ear of it. I presume that there isn't
a problem in mirroring the web site files (copyright related) and that

I am doing anything wrong in this?
Do I need permission to mirror the site?
Are there any other OpenBSD resources that should/could be mirrored?
(I'll look to mirror the other 'related projects' if this is useful,
feasible and acceptable.)

I've opted to mirror the site in two ways, both under a subdomain and
in a subdirectory of the /mirror/ directory on my site:

http://openbsd.slashboot.org/
http://slashboot.org/mirror/openbsd/

Any tips on keeping everything in sync would be appreciated. If I am
breaching any terms of copyright in doing this, then any request to
cease and the slap on the wrist will of course be accepted.
