A few things. You doing this is very good. =]
I am in massachusetts. so you are very close to me, and i can start updating
from you hehe. I run a mirror too, but im fairly limited on bandwidth so the
closer the better. it was fairly straightforward to do, i simply, cd
/usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror make and then make install. That will ask you
exactly what you want to mirror, and how often you want to update what you
mirror. As far as i know that sets you up with mirroring all the mailing
list archives, gnats, the website, all sources, and people can update their
sources off of you. There arent many mirrors near me which is why you doing
this would be good for me as im sure many others. As far as ftp mirroring,
you should learn, or use "rsync" a good tutorial on how to set up a freebsd
mirror is located at my favorite website www.freebsddiary.org if you have
any questions id be glad to help you set it up. or answer any questions you
have. you can email me directly at root@unixhideout.com Hope this helped.

I'd like to mirror ftp, www, cvs, whatever might be useful or helpful.

Please let me know how to coordinate this.  There's about 150GB of space
and a couple DS3s of bandwidth waiting to get a good workout. :-)

We're located in New York, and have been running a number of FreeBSD
systems going back to the 2.x days.  We have mirrors of a few other sites
as well (CPAN, Apache, mysql, etc.)

Thanks.
