Snapshots may appear here irregularly in the future if there's some specific testing goal to be achieved, but otherwise please look on ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ for the latest FreeBSD snapshots as they're distributed from that site. If there are any snapshots here, they will reside in the ${ARCH} (currently i386 or alpha) subdirectories. - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD Release engineer."
