Please, ALWAYS use the path ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD as:
a) It is not that uncommon to re-organise disks for efficiency on
wcarchive, which means that stuff that was on /.16 isn't any more.
b) wcarchive MAY need to be split into multiple machines some day
(hence all the CNAMES for it in the DNS), so sticking with
ftp.FreeBSD.ORG is best...
Sure, it's okay for the next week or so, but if someone records this
answer we just get questions why they can't find it when it is
moved... In fact I think the FreeBSD archive has been on 3 separate
drives in the last year...
