I had indeed noticed those, and browsed the FTP site before. 

However, for some time now, this notice is up:

ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/README.TXT
Snapshots are not distributed from ftp.freebsd.org on a regular
basis due to load on our mirrors.  Snapshots may appear here irregularly
in the future if there's some specific testing goal to be achieved, but
otherwise please look on ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/
for the latest FreeBSD snapshots as they're distributed from that
site.  If there are any snapshots here, they will reside in the
${ARCH} (currently i386 or alpha) subdirectories.

  FreeBSD Release engineer.

and at that other site, I can find only the CURRENT release, possibly with
all sorts of things broken. I need a STABLE or at least RELEASE version... :(
