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!

There seems to be a problem with the US mirror sites for FreeBSD. 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
