I have noticed that the mirrors for CTM are very out of date.  The up to
date CTM's are at ftp://ns3.saargate.de.  But that ftp server has low
bandwidth, so it would be very helpful if the mirrors could be updated.

There is a folder pub/FreeBSD/CTM/x-faulty/ that need not be mirrored.

There is another issue.  The host computer that creates the CTM delta's
sends them to ns3.saargate.de, and the copying process can take a long
time (like 12 hours for files like cvs-cur.7300xEmpty.gz).  For this
reason, there is a big possibility that if you download this file, you
will only get half of it, because it is still in the process of being
copied.  And you will have taken several hours to do this copy, in the
process occupying a huge portion of the bandwidth of ns3.saargate.de.  I
guess a few days later when your mirroring software runs again, you will
see that your copy and ns3.saargate.de's copy are different.  Does that
mean that it will be copied all over again?
