Hi you are right, ftp3.us.freebsd.org does work properly. However it is 
not listed in the http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors-rsync.html 
web page.

Also the other mirrors that are mentionned there do have the problem 
with "Attic" directories.

It seems that something needs to be fixed on the other rsync mirrors and 
that the actual list of mirros should be updated.

Thanks for the ftp3.us.freebsd.org link. This is greatly appreciated.

To answer Eberhard's remark, I don't think that the problem is at the 
local end as there is no issue with Attic files with some of the rsync 
servers.



Best regards,

Patrick.
