Description George 2008-11-30 10:10:02 UTC 
Almost without exception, I can't download from Distrowatch. It shuts down after downloading 90% of your OS. Your server doesn't permit the use of other download
aids, ie WX download fast (PBI) I have an excellent connection. What would you
recommend?

Thanks

Hello, We have a multitude of mirrors that offer our software that you 
can download, you can start by using 
ftp.<yourcountrycodehere>.freebsd.org and retrieving the software from 
there. We cannot guarentee the quality of our mirrors though, if they 
fail at some point, well they fail, but that is not something we can 
fix. Thanks for the interest in FreeBSD and trying to make things 
better!
