Much worse. The problem appeared around 2006-10-24 06:50:00 CET,
where all deleted files can be checked by looking at
/pub/logs/cvsup/update.log.delete on ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.org.
There temporarily disappeared substantial part of ports directory
including 55 GB of distfiles (and maybe some others too - I'm checking
it step by step). Fortunately, I have much more conservative mode on
ftp.cz.FreeBSD.org, so I'm working on fast middle-restore from this
server, which runs at speeds about 6 MB/s instead of 500 KB/s directly
from ftp-master.FreeBSD.org. Unfortunately, I still do not understand,
what really happened.
