If ftp.nz.freebsd.org ends up being hosted by Citylink, will it actually be a mirror which is accessible by the whole country, or will it become the "WIX peers only" mirror, much like ftp.nz.debian.org? I notice the "your ISP is broken" message is still broken:
AFAIK ftp/cvsup.nz.freebsd.org was hosted by citylink previously. Citylink's policy on the donation of bandwidth has been affected by the change to peering policy in NZ. Which is fair enough. I've heard some talk of another machine being put together for APE. I'm not sure if this will include *BSD content. Maybe if the space is available citylink will allow a second machine for a BSD mirror on APE. Personally, my current maxnet machines are pointing at ftp.au.debian.org as I've found no decent (*) well published APE connected debian mirrors. (*) debian.ihug.co.nz was several times a few days out of sync. Nicholas
