I _know_ it's not complete, I was wondering if it ever would be.

And didn't have the bandwidth before that, ISTR pointing out that a
full mirror of a very large site wasn't needed, just the last few
weeks uploads would have sufficed.

Yeah fine, it's a waste of space as it is, we'll just carry on using
the US site, it's the only one really worth using. It would have been
nice to have had a local copy of at least the most recent stuff, but
if that's the feeling, then go ahead.
