It would be _very_ nice to be able to obtain FreeBSD via anonymous rsync.

At least one mirror supports this already (xyz.lcs.mit.edu).  This would
also be the ideal way in which to have the master FTP site mirrored to
secondary mirror sites, as rsync can be easily setup to authenticate.

If not already the case, I might also suggest that mirrors be able to talk
to a central mirror server, as frequently, the ISO images don't get to the
rest of the mirrors for many many days, especially when cdrom.com is
overloaded.
