We at internat.freebsd.org, AKA za.freebsd.org have been maintaining a mirror for quite a while, now. We are attempting to get this to be as complete as possible without being ridiculous. I am also setting up a mirror on a different net (My own work machine). I have noticed an _enormous_ amount of wasted space in the master site's distribution/ directory. It seems that as ports get upgraded, many out-of-date tarballs do not get nuked. I created this directory on my machine by doin a "make fetch" in /usr/ports, but internat's is a mirror of the dir on ftp.freebsd.org. This latter dir is nearly 200MB larger that mine! Could someone please clean this out? An easy way is to move the files somwhere else and let "make fetch" pull them back (from either a locallly networked drive, or pretend that they are on a CDROM).
