Thanks, have done - worked nicely.

For those that care, I've mirrored testing using it and all was well.  Below
are the two lines i used, I can't get rsync to work via various compatible
servers, but iinet ftp works very well:

debmirror --progress --nosource --passive --host=ftp.iinet.net.au --root=deb
ian/debian --dist=testing --exclude=kde-i18n --exclude=kochi --exclude=-ja_ 
--exclude=-ko_ --exclude=-el_ --exclude=-it_ --exclude=-de_ --exclude=-fr_ -
-exclude=-pt_ --exclude=-es_ --exclude=-ru_ --arch=i386 -s main -s
contrib -s non-free /debian

debmirror --progress --nosource --passive --host=ftp.iinet.net.au --root=deb
ian/debian-non-US --dist=testing --exclude=kde-i18n --exclude=kochi --exclud
e=-ja_ --exclude=-ko_ --exclude=-el_ --exclude=-it_ --exclude=-de_ --exclude
=-fr_ --exclude=-pt_ --exclude=-es_ --exclude=-ru_ --arch=i386 -s
non-US/main -s non-US/contrib -s non-US/non-free /debian-non-US
