Ftp.iastate.edu is probably the highest-traffic NetBSD ftp site,
although you can also ftp directly to sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu (if you
can even get in), and the other mirrors that I can't remember the
names of.
Closest estimate I've heard so far on 1.0 is around the first week in
August. However, realize the NetBSD guys will not release it until
they know it's ready. So, if they don't feel comfortable, they won't
be bound by a deadline.
On the other hand, it's just about to go from 1.0-Alpha to 1.0-Beta.
And it's running as excellently as ever on my system. So, I'd say the
target date is probably pretty accurate. But, please bear in mind
that I am not a core member, and I have no inside knowledge, nor
influence over, the date.
