I recently noticed that the last working disk image is from January: http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/11.0-CURRENT/amd64/20150111/FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-amd64-20150111-r276981.vmdk.xz There have been 16 images uploaded since then and none of them will open in VMware Player. They all result in the following error message: The file specified is not a virtual disk. I have seen reports from others having the same problem.
