i am visiting the uk and wanted to cvsup.  i ran fastest_cvsup
and got

>>  Speed Daemons:
    - 1st: cvsup4.uk.freebsd.org
    - 2nd: cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
    - 3rd: cvsup2.uk.freebsd.org

so i started fetching from cvsup4.uk.freebsd.org with 

    *default tag=.

i was shocked when it started replacing just about everything so
hit ^C.  look at these lovely dates
