Whilst in theory I completely agree -- I have to say we've got several GB of archives that mirror using ftp (using the perl mirror scripts) and on the whole it does work very well... it fully automated, I never hear from it unless there are problems -- which are infrequent.
What problems are you seeing with ftp -- I assume you are aware the perl mirror script has a multitude of knobs to turn to help alleviate some of these problems?
