I had a look at my best mirror, the sunsite archive at imperial college in the uk. (ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/operating-systems/unix/FreeBSD) and although they have the directory structure for 951005-SNAP there are no files in there, this is at 19:15GMT on 19th Oct. Is this just being updated ? as I have seen the dir structure there for some time. I would like to try this SNAP but I can't get a good enough link in to most of the other mirrors. Cheers Phil
