Best way to mirror Project Gutenberg

Hello,
I am attempting to mirror the Project Gutenberg archive. I was following rsync instructions off Mirroring How To | Project Gutenberg but when I switched to rsyncing from ibiblio, I saw your notice that implied rsync is no longer the preferred method.

How should I download the Project Gutenberg archive? And how should I keep up to date with new additions?

Thank you,
bibliophile

It’s safe to ignore the rsync warning from ibiblio - it’s been there for ages.

Note that there are two subsets to the collection. Also note that there are some mirrors that might have higher speeds than ibiblio - the mirror list has some details, and your performance will depend on your own location & setup.

Enjoy!
