Jim has identified a growing problem with our U.S. mirror sites and thus I figured I'd cite his posting in support of a request I'd like to make at this time for more FreeBSD mirrors at well-connected and reasonably useful (e.g. at least 50-100 anonymous FTP users allowed) sites. Any takers? Please read http://www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD before volunteering as it contains important prerequisite information which you may wish to consider before stepping forward. Thanks!

In the past, I have found them to be quite reliable - but that no longer seems to be the case. ftp 4, 5 and 6 are off-line completely. I'm getting DNS look-up failures on these three sites from 4 different ISP's. ftp 2 and 3 are on-line, but neither is complete. ftp2 has the base installation binaries for 2.2.5-RELEASE, but lacks the XFree86-3.3.1 distribution. ftp3 does not have 2.2.5-RELEASE at all... it appears that there have been no file updates at this site since Sept 30th. Any word on when (or if) ftp 4 5 or 6 will return to active status? Regards, Jim Barrett info@weny.com ------- End of Forwarded Message
