My build server is in USA and I get pretty fast service from this mirror. In case you need to change the MASTER_SITES please add “RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES=yes” in your make.conf.

Hi Muhammad,

I am not the only one who has reported that the mirror does not work
correctly. RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES will make on average 1 out of 5
builds fail. I don't think that is much of a solution. Please, feel
free to restore it to the previous state. I suppose people suffering
from the _extremely_ slow transfer rates from this mirror can patch
bsd.sites.mk locally.

Cheers.
