Please note that this section is only relevant if you have run the Librarian Interface using the '-mirror' argument flag used to enable the 'Hunt' and 'Mirror' views. If the flag was not used then those tabs will not appear in the row of tabs, nor will any preference options related to these features be available.

The current system of downloading requires you to have a copy of the open source mirroring tool wget installed (preferrably WGet v1.8) and have it accessible from the Librarian Interface install directory (by including it in your path settings).

As mentioned previously, sourcing files from the web is a two stage process. The second stage, having found the files you wish to gather, is to download (or 'mirror') onto the local filespace. This chapter explains the Librarian Interfaces mirroring process.
