The above handbook sections describe how to get CURRENT or STABLE via
ftp like this:


         3. Use ftp. The source tree for FreeBSD-current is always
            "exported" on:
            ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current We also use
            `wu-ftpd' which allows compressed/tar'd grabbing of whole
            trees. e.g. you see:
          
            usr.bin/lex
        You can do:

            ftp> cd usr.bin
            ftp> get lex.tar.Z

However, ftp.freebsd.org doesn't support compressing outgoing tar
files on-the-fly.  The ".Z" should be removed.
