I would say you have just picked a bad time to access the FBSD FTP sites.
They are all downloading the new version 4.6 cdrom ISO images right now, and
soon as people see 4.6 on the FTP mirror sites they get flooded with people
downloading the new ISO version to their computers. I see the same timeout
right
now as I try to connect to FBSD ftp sites looking for 4.6. All you can do
is keep
trying different FBSD FTP mirror sites until you get one that is not busy.
Try to target one that is in a different time zone as you so the local users
are sleeping.

Subject: Gateway slowing things down
Hello all
i have setup a P133/32M box with FreeBSD 4.5R as a gateway to my
net. For testing purposes, I have the firewall set to 'open'. I have a
cable modem and use DHCP. From my private box, Athlon
1.2/512DDR, I can ping anywhere just fine. For example, I can ping
cvsup7.freebsd.org (my fastest mirror) with no problem, however, when
I attempt to 'cvsup' the ports, my throughput speed is reduced
_severely_! In fact, I get very little activity at all. I see:
Connected to cvsup7.freebsd.org
#several seconds later
Updating collection ports-all
#several minutes later
Editing.....(whatever it says there..)
and that's about it. If I disconnect from the gateway and reconfigure the
private box directly with DHCP , its faster than hell.
I am wondering if this is the expected result for this type of gateway
setup? Do I need to use a bigger box for the gateway? Or is it
possible that I have settings fouled up somewhere? For info, I have
in the kernel:
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPDIVERT
in /etc/rc.conf:
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN" #temporarily, of course
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="ed1" #my outside NIC
I was stoked to get this to work at all, being such a newbie. I could use
some suggestions. Thanks in advance, and please cc to me at
inspector.us@omicnet.com, as I am not currently subscribed to the list.
Best Regards,
