Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I've tried to fetch a snapshot, packaged as a tar archive (fetch ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.1-20000918-STABLE.tar) This used to work some time ago, but does no longer. Is the ftp server on relng4 broken, or is this a deliberate policy choice, in order to avoid excessive amounts of download ?
