Just a heads up:
At least until last night, one of the UK FreeBSD mirrors
ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/FreeBSD
appears to be suffering from file corruption in the FreeBSD distributions
(I checked 2.1.5-RELEASE bin and src). I confirmed this after comparing the
md5 checksums distributed in the CHECKSUM.MD5 file (and yes, the files
were downloaded in binary mode :-) ).
ftp://unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/walnut.creek/
does not have this problem.
I hope this information saves someone a very long and ultimately futile
download.
I've mailed the admins at @doc.ic.ac.uk seperately.
