To be honest, I've never used FTP for that. I think cvsweb is _much_ easier for that, _and_ the complete history and comments of the comitters are just one mouseclick away. > Nowadays, I usually use cvsweb (and locally checked out files) to > check single file.

The download stats for those trees are almost zero on our FreeBSD mirror. Except for obviuous other mirrors who get it from us, of course. They're one big waste of CPU and bandwidth, IMO.
