* I think it would be good to have a facility of this sort in FreeBSD * by default, although of course maintaining the list of useful mirrors * and preferred places would probably have to be a matter for the * individual user. If others agree, the FreeBSD project is welcome * to use my script. That is very interesting. The FreeBSD Project is very interested in your script. :) * (Incidentally, I haven't actually checked whether Japanese sites are * worse than random other sites. The .jp entry is a legacy from when I * was checking that the script did the right thing.) Well, that depends. ftp.jp.freebsd.org (ftp.toykonet.ad.jp) has its own connection to the Bay Area so if you're around here, it's faster than many East Coast sites. :) Satoshi
