Since no one seems to answer:

Go get gnu wget. Install it and run in regularly (cron). Example crontab entry:
0 4 * * * cd /ftp/mirror;/usr/local/bin/wget -m
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel

Contact the site you wish to mirror so they can announce that you are an official
mirror.

Then ask them if they use special accounts for mirror sites. The standard
anonymous account is usually limited in number of concurrent users. They might
allow you to use rsync for mirroring, which is better. Usually combined with ssh.

Sincerely

Hans Eric
