Did i answer..;-) The reason for why i found this was that the main ftp.freebsd.org was either unreachable or overloaded.. ( or the link ) ( 1-2kbyte/sec ) And the .se. server's where i normally would go had some problems. Then when i tried one of the other ( i believe it was the .uk. ) i got 20-30kbyte/sec which is as fast as it get's to my home. But as i understand then all files are zipped/tared on the fly then when requested. Doesn't this take a lot of cpu-power/disk-io extra? And the main ftp site would benefit of spreading the load a little. Regards /Uffe
