I had reason to wish that this had been writ large somewhere, recently.
I first downloaded 2.2.1, (with src, of course) then 2.2.2, and _then_
found I had to download another 34+Megs for src-2.2.0400xEmpty, to get
going with CTM. All at around 1k/second (the route from here to the CTM
mirror at ftp.au.freebsd.org (also in Sydney) involves 11 hops, would
you believe.  It's almost faster to go straight to San Francisco.)

Grrr...
