A few whole-genome databases can be accessed from a single site: http://www.bio-mirror.net/ And they're a little more willing to accept regular connections. If you're using Unix, the simplest approach is to run "wget" as a cron job. "rsync" is a step up from that. SRS may be worth looking into, too. All of this can be found at the above site.
