Different sizes, different dates. The November variant is broken
(installed package crashes at first connection), the January variant works.
I.e. half of users get the broken variant from ftp.FreeBSD.org.
Local mirrors contain the broken variant.
http://www.freshports.org/www/mathopd  lists last commit on August 13, 2007.
How, why different variants?
