Replicator is a replicating HTTP proxy server. Files that are downloaded through the proxy are transparently stored in a private cache, so an exact copy of accessed remote files is created on the local machine. It is, in essence, a general purpose proxy server, but especially suited for maintaining a cache of MacPorts, FreeBSD or Fink packages.
