Brian, i use this archive at IO almost exclusively as a mirror except for
{sup,www}.freebsd.org, and i haven't had a prob yet. If you want me too,
i may be willing to keep it up-to-date as i do with the linux site... and
given my preference, perhaps better. :)
I still think ftp.io.org should become ftp.ca.freebsd.org *poke* *poke*
.... you've got the bandwith, you already have the space allocated, it
would be another conntribution to the internet community to add to IO's
long history, and, and, and... i know i've said this before; shut me up
if you get sick of hearing it.
But anyway, YES, ftp.io.org is a great alternative ftp site for freebsd.
And, slackware, too. *grin*
