Thanks for the help jpmurphy. It seems more difficult than I imagined; and sadly my knowledge is not up to the task!
I've found that I can get the pdf files by opening the individual issues and using the downthemall addon for firefox. The only problem is that they are not then in a nice "clickable" archive; and it is very time consuming for larger collections which I would also like to mirror.
But nevermind, I have a solution to the problem at least.
Thanks again for your time and help
