Its not just people trying to get the 4.3-RELEASE iso image, I can't even get a port to go since this thing started, I can wait for the iso image or cvsup but can't get my port till this settles down someday. Is everyone ftp-ing via modem or what? Jorge On Wed, 25 Apr 2001, David W.

I tried connecting to ftp2.freebsd.org through ftp10.freebsd.org.
