I'll second the statement of using rsync, it is far far better. Also you may have some problems with owner/group file permissions which are used to deal with the bit-flip. I'm not sure how well rsync can handle that situation going from the *nix world to the windows world.

I'll admit I'm not sure this has really been tried, and I think you are likely going to just run into odd and weird problems where your copy of the repo is just oddly different than everyone elses. That said I am curious to see how well this works out.

Hello All,

I am planning on setting up a mirror (with a batch script) on a server running Windows Server 2003 using WGET for Windows and Scheduled Tasks. Could anyone see any possible issues using this method? The files would be downloadable by http only (for the time being) and I will look at setting up FTP on my server.
