Those two are both written in Python, which means they should be fairly portable, including to Windows. Have you tried one or more of these and failed? Making a serious mirror and providing the service to third parties is a relatively demanding task. But for local use you can put up with the occasional CRLF vs. NL bogosity and other minor issues that typically arise. Ie, maintaining a local mirror is well within the scope of effort suggested by "play with bleeding edge features."
