AFAIK, the usual answer to these kinds of requests is: =E2=80=9ERun your = own freebsd-update server=E2=80=9C. Mirroring one of the existing ones is AFAIK neither guaranteed to work = nor desired by the current =E2=80=9Eadministration=E2=80=9C. I=E2=80=99ve 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=E2=80=99s 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=E2=80=99s just easier to create these base-packages yourselves = vs. running your own freebsd-update server.
