List of ftp-masters?

[Omer Faruk Sen]

About download speed I have contacted people resposable and I really want to 
know why the link between ftp.tr and ftp-master.cz is slow. And about 
missing files Rudolf Cejka has written this message and I think someone is 
required to explain this matter: 

Hmm, it seems that it is a good question to hubs@: What is tools.NEW
on ftp-master.FreeBSD.org and does anybody know, why it is not
in partial cvsup collections, but seems to be in FreeBSD-archive? 

Thanks.
