I have a site that I'd like to be accessed efficiently in both the USA and in China - currently connection to USA from China and to China from USA are both too sluggish

How can I mirror site contents (if I have wxyz.com and wxyz.com.cn)?

To simplify things, if I only need some content to flow from USA to China (and not the other way round) and I can live with a nightly process or something like that, what are my options?

Thanks

If you own the source code of the site, you can simply FTP that to whatever server you want. You can use the command line version of FTP available on Windows and Linux and run it in a cron.

If you don't own the source code, you are in trouble. Many sites are dynamicaly generated and scraping--which is IMHO the more common term for copying complete websites from the US to China--only gets the pages after generation, not the engine itself.
