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] > +.freebsd.org?

Typically problems with the top-level mirrors get reported and fixed pretty quick so they should be reliable. > Is there a more appropriate infrastructure mailing list to raise this > issue on? 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. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith_at_cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
