[-- Attachment #1 --] I don't mean to be too critical of you guys, because I know you work hard and are busy, but... 4.3R might have gone a bit smoother if you had actually pushed it out to all your mirrors before announcing it. Currently, ftp.freebsd.org, usw1 and usw2 are totally inaccessible (or if I do get through, pretty much unresponsive). I tried connecting to ftp2.freebsd.org through ftp10.freebsd.org. None of them have this release mirrored, except ftp10, and the image on ftp10 is corrupt (truncated to only 45MB in size). A little foresight goes a long way, and I assert that the load would be quite a bit less on ftp.freebsd.org if the mirrors actually had a copy to distribute. (FWIW I'm speaking specifically of the ISO CD image. It might be available in other forms (binary or source dist) but I was not interested in those.)
