As far as I know CVSup is only available for the source tree and the www-pages, right??? If I'm right you are really wasting bandwidth each time a mirror traverses the ftp tree of your site just in order to do nothing. Rsync would drastically reduce the load on your net connection resulting from such mirror updates. What do you have to loose by offering an up to date rsync of the FreeBSD distribution???
