All I did was step though ftp1...ftp10 (or whatever), and look at
ping times.

(likewise with cvsup1..cvsupwhatever).

Once I saw one with ping times I likes, I connected to see how
complete of a repostory they were.

'Where' they are, or what the actual host name is, is kinda moot,
as long as you can connect to it w/o too much lag, and they're
offering what you need.

  % dig ftp5.freebsd.org

Really very basic stuff...
