1. http URLs are far more overhead on ftp.cdrom.com and should be strongly discouraged for any actual files (the only one I "approve" of is http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD which fills an organizational nicle). 2. I only update the master copy, the mirrors often very slow to catch up, and thus the version on ftp.freebsd.org remains the definitive reference. > Today www.freebsd.org was a bit slow so I tried one of the mirrors.
