AFAIK, the usual answer to these kinds of requests is: „Run your own freebsd-update server“. Mirroring one of the existing ones is AFAIK neither guaranteed to work nor desired by the current „administration“. I’ve contemplated doing both, but never had enough heart-ache to do it and never thought the pay-off would be greater than the potential problems. It’s also a somewhat transient problem now because - AFAIK - FreeBSD will see packaged base and you can probably mirror those packages and snapshot the directory at any point in time. And/Or it’s just easier to create these base-packages yourselves vs. running your own freebsd-update server.help
