I (ftp2.de.freebsd.org) usually rsync from ftp-master.cz.freebsd.org,
with excellent response: only 18 minutes today for a single run over the
whole 128 GB, transferring 200 MB.

With rsync-master.cse.buffalo.edu I get:

opening tcp connection to rsync-master.cse.buffalo.edu port 873
@ERROR: access denied to FreeBSD from ftp.gwdg.de (134.76.11.100)

Please, give me a try. ;-))

Cheers -e
