Another enthusiast... ;)

I'm not sure what platform you are on, but there is a *very* nice
Modula-3 rpm package from Polytechnic University in Montreal for
linux.

Anyway, for some mirrors CVSup might be a good alternative since Marc
is already running a server. Also, CVSup has a "mirror sync" mode
which makes it even faster; if the mirror is run as a slave server
then the server leaves all of the sync info in cache and does not need
to traverse the directory tree to deduce what should be updated.
