I was having a problem reaching that URL; however, I found that this one: http://www.oook.cz/bsd/docsnap.html did seem to work. In any case, I am unable to get the 'rsync' command to work. This is the output of one such attempt. ~ $ sudo rsync -rltvz docsnap.sk.FreeBSD.org::docsnap /usr/share/doc/ rsync: failed to connect to docsnap.sk.FreeBSD.org: Operation timed out (60) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3D3.0.5] This has happened continually for the past few days. I am not sure if it is a temporary problem or or permanent one. --=20 Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com A crow perched himself on a telephone wire.
