No, that's done on purpose. My attempts to get a volunteer from Canada to set up a FTP server in Canada has been in vain so far, so we aliased ftp.ca.freebsd.org to ftp.freebsd.org which, yes, is at tdk in Denmark. The alias is there so that previously published links from the time that the archive was in BC still work. No mistake... perhaps if you can suggest a better host to alias it to I can change it. -Mit -----Original Message----- From: Doug Moen [mailto:doug@moens.org] Sent: November 13, 2002 6:49 AM To: hostmaster@ca.FreeBSD.org Subject: ftp.ca.freebsd.org is in Denmark I'm located in Waterloo, Ontario. For me, at least, ftp.ca.freebsd.org is an alias for ftp.beastie.tdk.net, which is located in Denmark. The same is true for "ftp.freebsd.org". This is a problem. I recently attempted an ftp installation of FreeBSD 4.7. I chose the default ftp site, ftp.freebsd.org, and ended up pulling 10KB per second from Denmark. I think that a DNS server must be misconfigured. Do you agree?
