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...

  There are alternative download sites, its not too extremely hard to use an
ftp search engine to find it, or actually buy the cd.  There are plenty of
other ways to download it that people interested in upgrading might use so
you can't wait until the iso is available before anouncing it to those who
buy the cd or cvsup to it.

    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.)
