Hi, Connected to ftp.freebsd.org. 220 usw4.freebsd.org FTP server (Version DG-4.1.73 983302105) ready. Name (ftp.freebsd.org:twchan): ftp 530-Sorry, but there are too many users logged into this machine now. 530-The maximum limit is 400 while we're on temporary hardware, 530-ftp.freesoftware.com (AKA the old ftp.freebsd.org) is off the net 530-for now and there is unfortunately no ETA for its return. 530- 530-Please try back in a few minutes, or try the alternate servers at: 530- 530- ftp://usw1.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ 530- ftp://usw4.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ 530- 530-They are sharing the same contents as this one. 530-My apologies for the inconvenience! -jkh 530- If you'd been following -stable, you'd have read about how recently ftp.freebsd.org (ftp.freesoftware.com) was down - either actually down as the above message implies, or some network bandwidth congestion somewhere. Somebody put up a temporary ftp.freebsd.org so that 4.3-RELEASE could be served to the world; I guess the temporary one didn't put the distfiles and ports and stuff.
