I get ... cvs from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/cvs-cur/cvs-cur.????.gz src from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/src-4/src-4.????.gz ports from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/ports-cur/ports-cur.????.gz I don't know where to get docs from. ( wget on NT understands some regexp operators, but it is a little "flakey" ) ftp-ing ctm deltas has been a very reliable for source, ie buildworld always works, for those of us without cvs access. ( "cvsup32.exe" ;), two points that I have found: The deltas by ftp lag behing the ctm-announce list by about 12 hours Don't switch your source ftp server, for example from ftp5 to ftp2 - as the the time-stamping method doesn't work.
