I haven't been having much success keeping ftp.au.freebsd.org up to date recently. The transfers from ftp.freebsd.org are *very* slow, and keep timing out. It seems to running close to its 2000 user limit, and maybe that's why? Can someone suggest another site to mirror from? I'm currently picking some bits up from ftp.uk.freebsd.org, but the more recent 2.2.5-*-BETA directories there are not fully populated. David
