Thanks Erwin, You're right, nslookup: Name: ftp.freebsd.org Address: 87.51.34.132 Address: 204.152.184.73 For me in Munich Germany the Danish mirror 87.51.34.132 ftp.beastie.tdk.net. is 10 times faster than USA. 204.152.184.73 freebsd.isc.org. But I wouldn't want to load Denmark needlessly either, so look forward to reading follow up I see starting re. bitorrent & fastest_cvsup etc. Thanks all !
