Hi FreeBSD Doc Master I just saw, that on http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html it says > The FreeBSD mirror sites database is more accurate than the mirror > listing in the Handbook, as it gets its information from the DNS > rather than relying on static lists of hosts. and refers to http://mirrorlist.FreeBSD.org/ However, that service is not up to date any more. The drop down list does not include Switzerland (CH) and surely also some other countries which are listed on http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html In addition, the web site http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php claims 'This website is maintained by Jarrod Sayers.' But the link behind the name http://www.netleader.com.au/ returns '403 Forbidden'. Thanks for checking that and fixing it appropriately.
