Barring that, I'd use cvsup8.freebsd.org or cvsup6.us.freebsd.org buffalo.edu runs several ftp sites and a couple of cvsup servers too. I usually ping these hosts first to check times. I've never had a problem getting cvsup'd source from our local mirror though. I haven't checked ike.egr.msu.edu's ftp site though in ages, so I can't tell you how out of date that is versus the main site. However cvsup (on ike.egr) always seems pretty up-to-date to me. Could be 4 hours behind others though for all I know, but it always has some update for me to grab. Hope that helps! ./brm
