Of course, latency across satellite circuits also does not help. A further problem is apparent congestion on the customer's access crcuit to us - they really seem to be nailing their Internet access. (I'm seeing 600ms ping times across the access circuit.) Thus, a small modicum of improvement may be achieved if we were to mirror the site on ftp.is.co.za. This should be possible when we upgrade our ftp server (sometime this month). I can check with the administrator of our ftp site, whether he will be able to do the mirror. Only problem is that the directory structures will need to differ, as we are already ftp4.za.freebsd.org. For anyone from across the pond trying to access the site, your best mileage will probably be between 1900 and 0600 GMT, when most of our clients are asleep.
