A better mouse-trap ... er lwp-rget

Hi!  I'm in search of a fully functional WWW subtree mirror package.
lwp-rget seems really useful - however, it doesn't maintain the
tree structure, meaning that things really get mucked up and have to
be shuffled all about (and of course if the same file - say index.html
is in various directories, who knows what happens?)

So, I have to believe that others are dealing with this - fetching
subtrees for mirroring purposes, whatever.

Can someone point me along to an expanded version of rget?  Seems
like a merge perhaps with lwp-mirror (if that does the date comparisons
I expect that it does) would be another feature one would expect.

Thanks to all out there writing such great software.
