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.
Regards
-T.W.Chan-
