All project mirrors are slow in Australia so we have been using the AWS one since Colin brought it online to make it a better experience for our team to update the fleet. FWIW adjust update.FreeBSD.org to aws.update.FreeBSD.org in /etc/freebsd-update.conf and you are good to go. Can the project look at offering traditional mirrors for base and pkgs rather than the current offering? Those that want to stand up un-official mirrors can do so by pointing rsync to a Tier 2 mirror for updating purposes so they can provide faster, localised access. From Melbourne to our closest geo mirror is 240ms, this latency really drags out updates, so having a mirror out of a Melbourne DC would be beneficial. Cheers, Jason.
