Well, there are basically four ways:
1.) use fsimport.py
2.) use the demo supplied with ZClient, that does the same as a client
    program.
3.) use ZServer, and FTP access to mirror it with an existing FTP program.
4.) wait 24-48h, I should have an tool ready to do the feat.
    (Well, at the moment the status for my a bit ambitious website
     copying tool is:
     - I'm lacking an argument parser.
     - I've got only filesystem input and output classes.
       No problem if the class design is sound. Huge trouble if not.
     - At the moment it only uses the HREF and SRC attributes of A and
       IMG. Background images etc. should be trivial. Javascript
       referenced images are not. Sorry, no concept for this at the
       moment.
     - It did work on some fairly complex internal websites here, but
       YMMV.
