I don't have the disk space to make ftp.freebsd.org a full and complete mirror of ftp-master.freebsd.org and what's even more embarassing is not having your perceived "official mirror site" being a full and complete mirror. I'll request that ftp.freebsd.org go offline for now. - Jordan From: Szilveszter Adam Subject: Re: Thanks in advance for fixing this bug/oversight =) Date: Sun, 6 May 2001 09:25:35 +0200 > On Sat, May 05, 2001 at 07:03:15PM -0400, James Bennett wrote: > > I am a big fan of FreeBSD and noticed that ftp.freebsd.org does not have > > most of the directories referenced by the ports www page such as > > /pub/FreeBSD/branches directory or /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable. > > I am unable to grab the port or the package files listed.
