Hmm. No offense intended but there should have been no impact at all on
the main cvsup server. We branched RELENG_7 a while ago and that
probably stressed it for a day or so but the release builds and
distribution don't really have an impact on the cvsup server
infrastructure..

Typically problems with the top-level mirrors get reported and fixed
pretty quick so they should be reliable.

Ruslan gave one option. Another is the freebsd-hubs mailing list which
is where most of the mirror administrators (both cvsup and ftp) hang
out. That said I'll see if I can find out what's up with the Australian
mirror.
