Hi,

First of all, thanks for offering to help.  Currently the
=2Ecn.FreeBSD.org mirror is mostly dead and we do need help.

Please see my response inline.

Sorry to hear that.  pkg is using geodns, so it's important to let
clusteradm@ know if it is giving you the optimal results.  To check it, r=
un:

dig _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org srv

And:

dig pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org

(You can override the mirror by making changes to /etc/pkg/pkg.conf and
replace pkg.FreeBSD.org with e.g. pkg0.twn.freebsd.org or
pkg0.kwc.freebsd.org).

The mirror documentation is at
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Teams/clusteradm/tiny-mirror and
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Teams/clusteradm/generic-mirror-layout .

freebsd-update and portsnap mirrors are managed differently, and you can
contact Colin Percival (cperciva@) for that.  Alternatively, if your
mirror have low latency to an existing mirror, it's also possible to
simply reverse-proxy to an existing mirror and cache the data locally.
For relatively low usage portsnap mirror, this would result in much less
data transfers ("normal" portsnap mirror would transport much more data
than a proxy).

The scripts for mirroring portsnap is available from svn at
base/user/cperciva/portsnap-mirror/ .

Hope this helps (I'll be AFK from Friday for ~10 days but will try to
respond emails).
