If you can't get a file from ftp.freebsd.org then it's worth trying for
it on ftp2.freebsd.org, or ftp3.freebsd.org

Locality works to, ftp.uk.freebsd.org for example.

You'll probably do best if you browse the ftp server before trying to
download it, that way you'll be able to see the binaries they have and
you'll know whether or not it's worth trying to download or just moving
on to another mirror.
