Cvsup will be much faster than ftp, since it only transfers diffs, not the whole files involved, and files that haven't changed won't be transferred. I usually install it by doing cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup make install clean Then you run cvsup with one of the files in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/, for you it would be stable-supfile. You might want to copy it and tweak it first. Cvsup knows how to work with proxies; I've never had to do it, but take a look at the man page for the appropriate arguments.
