I am in the process of downloading FreeBSD using my broadband
ADSL connection through xs4all in the Netherlands.

I have dl'd the /base  (using my Linux sys) and a few other directories onto a
DOS partition that I will setup the initial install with.
In addition to this I have the /ports on the DOS partition
as well as the distfile for net/mpd-netgraph. Hopefully,
with mpd installed I will be able to use my isdn/adsl modem
and download the rest of the FreeBSD ports, etc.

I am backing up some old files now but hope to have it
done by the end of the week.
