I'm assuming you meant 'ftp.freebsd.org'.

This is not FreeBSD's fault, but the fault of the Internet as a whole.
In particulr, all of cdrom.com goes off-line 3-4 times/day because
Sprint's router at CIX melts down, and it takes a couple hours for it to
come back up. This is *silly*, and I have placed several trouble
tickets with Sprint with regard to this problem. I understand that
these sorts of problems are common throughout the Internet, which just
isn't capable of withstanding the growth/BW it has seen in the last 12
months.

If you can, can you break the mirror script down into multiple targets.
That way you can at least update it incrementally, rather than trying to
get everything in on shot?
