The following ftp servers are listed, but don't have a DNS Entry anymore: ftp4.fr, ftp5.fr, ftp7.fr The following ftp servers are not listed in the Handbook. ftp.at, ftp.bg, ftp.ch, ftp.sg, ftp.hu, ftp.it, ftp.no, ftp2.no ftp3.no ftp7.jp, ftp2.pl, ftp4.za, ftp8.tw, ftp9.tw ftp10.tw ftp11.tw and ftp14 (This list is incomplete, i haven't checked all country zonefiles). I can't judge about the Importance of an 11. Mirror in .tw, but there is no Mirror listed for the Countries at, bg, ch, sg, hu, it, and no, IMHO they should be listed. Another problem: Some mirrors died, and the CC-hostmasters added aliases, to prevent the links in the Handbook pointing to Nirvana. E.g. ftp3.de and ftp5.de point to the same IP adress. So i think it is questionable to mention this ftp-mirrors more than one time in the handbook. This is my first docs-PR so please have mercy. If something is missing I will provide it. I have made no SGML-Diff, but if one is needed, I can provide one. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
