find your closest mirror - i don't recomment hitting ftp.freebsd.org directly. then start mirroring using rsync or spegla or mirror.pl to your local system.
I guess trial and error for this one.
i can't help much.. unless you want to spring for tickets for me to the US in which case i can help a lot :-)
just doa few traceroutes to ftpX.freebsd.org and pick a close one.
I'm in CA, basically, I'm going to use it for our internal purposes as well as anyone else that might be interested.
well, depending on your bandwidth, you might or might not want to be advertised.
Not a master at working with rsync, but I guess it's time I learned.
rsync is trivial to get installed, is much more secure than a ftp server and offers a lot better mirroring support in terms of bandwidth than ftp.
to this day it is a constant annoyance there is no rsync support, even if only for downstream mirrors (not end users) on ftp.freebsd.org :-(
our traffic is so async, I can continually update the server and it won't affect us at all.
cool. best of luck with getting your mirror up
