[-- Attachment #1 --] If you guys are still having problems, I have the 4.3 Release ISO on my site. It can be found under the FreeBSD section or just go to http://www.rootprompt.net/SOFTWARE/4.3-install.iso. Hammer away...

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.)
