Please give it a try! Ok, I tried it and to my surprise the other ones are faster. I'm one of the many who probably didn't give it much thought and just stuck cvsup.freebsd.org in their cvsup config files. Now, I'm running off cvsup6, which gave me no packet loss, but also seems to have a very fast response time. I'm in Canada, and I've noticed that cvsup.ca.freebsd.org, is the absolute worst server I can possibly use. It seems the american ones are much better. Is cvsup.ca just another pointer to cvsup1 in the US? And I also update PAO3 on a regular basis, and that is the slowest one of them all (coming from cvsup.jp, in Japan). Do any of the US mirror's also mirror PAO3? -- ---------------------- Pat Wendorf beholder@unios.dhs.org ICQ: 1503733 --------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
