Yes, the policy on FreeBSD mirror sites has changed. Partly this is due to infrastructure changes -- the Internet as a whole is very much more reliable, pervasive and faster than it was even a few years ago, and standard server hardware is now capable of much higher workloads. Meaning there's now no technical need to mirror FreeBSD content out to a large number of intermediate sites. Partly too this is about security. Inserting backdoors into install sets on a mirror site is an obvious attack route, and the project now requires full administrative control over all of its public distribution network so that it can have some assurance that sort of attack can be prevented. Is there some problem with your being able to access ftp.freebsd.org directly? This is now a globally load balanced service with points of presence in US East and West coasts, UK and Russia (possibly others). I believe the cluster admins might well be receptive to an offer to host another mirror in East Asia, so long as it can be shown there's enough demand to make it worth while. However the requirements are now much more stringent.
