I even had a worse experience that took me a week to figure out, one of the files on sup.au.freebsd.org in the /etc dir was truncated to about 25% of it's correct length and causing make world to fail. I only found it after ftping to ftp.freebsd.org and manually checking the file lengths on the -current files there. The point it the sup.au.freebsd.org files were unreliable in that instance and I would be keen to know if there is any work around? I lost a lot of hours chasing that but I would prefer to use that site to keep the load off sup.freebsd.org which is the only site I trust at the moment. - Ernie.
