Hmm. No offense intended but there should have been no impact at all on the main cvsup server. We branched RELENG_7 a while ago and that probably stressed it for a day or so but the release builds and distribution don't really have an impact on the cvsup server infrastructure.. > Is there some safety in using the primary mirrors cvsup[0-9]=20 > +.freebsd.org?

Ruslan gave one option. Another is the freebsd-hubs mailing list which is where most of the mirror administrators (both cvsup and ftp) hang out. That said I'll see if I can find out what's up with the Australian mirror. --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-FdBF0gmQDFAQi+kl6g+Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHHiu3/G14VSmup/YRAgAjAJ9Rs+qWg6vorQ3gg970QfYwALPSVQCfT/1K UzIV6JaeMRRhCHureN0Un6M= =e/e3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-FdBF0gmQDFAQi+kl6g+Z--
