How to synchronize update.freebsd.org

[mirror]

Hi,all
We want to set up a new mirror of update5.freebsd.org.
But we can't find any rsync servers of update5.freebsd.org.
First we use wget to mirror it but now it limit our ipaddress to mirror.
Is there any rsync server of update5.freebsd.org we can reach?

Thanks!

freebsd-update) but based on past conversations, he's been reluctant to
increase the number of FreeBSD Update servers unless it needs additional
capacity. (and even then there's additional restrictions)

While we are at it, what is the current policy on SVN and Portsnap
mirrors? To have
some mirrors in Europe wiould make life easier.

Maybe you can try setting up a reverse proxy, that is how
update.tw.freebsd.org does.

No, I suspect for security reasons and to tightly control the
freebsd-update release process, mirrors of FreeBSD Update repositories
are not allowed, and your IP was throttled because you were walking the
tree with wget on a regular basis.

I'd suggest talking to ***@FreeBSD.org (who maintains
freebsd-update) but based on past conversations, he's been reluctant to
increase the number of FreeBSD Update servers unless it needs additional
capacity. (and even then there's additional restrictions)
