Did you try the "FreeBSD Snap Finder" at the following URL? It is very useful. http://www.itworks.com.au/~gavin/FBSDsites.php3 For example, it would have told you that all recent snapshots and betas were available from ftp7.de.freebsd.org, which has an average transferate of about 40 Kbyte/s to your site (I just uploaded a kernel to your FTP server for testing. ;-) (40 Kbyte/s is not terribly fast, but I think it's fast enough to download a FreeBSD snapshot, which would take about 45 minutes if you download everything.)
