I used to cvsup daily at 2:00am as part of my > daily.local, but I haven't had much luck getting on (day or night). Start by running some pings and traceroutes against cvsup*.freebsd.org. Sort by latency and hop-count and try them in order. If one busies out regularly, go to the next one on the list. Repeat until you find one that you're happy with. You can also try adjusting when cron runs the cvsup job. Since network topography is more important than geographical location people in the US might also want to include the Canadian mirrors {cvsup,cvsup2}.ca.freebsd.org in the list of candidates. (And vice versa. For example, I'm located in Edmonton, Alberta. From a network standpoint the west coast of the US is almost always "closer" to me than, say, Toronto, is.) --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
