Hey,

Sounds good :-). Given your location I suspect it would be best for you to sync from ftp-master.us which is located in Buffalo, NY. You can test the connectivity e.g. by trying to sync from moss.cse.buffalo.edu (currently AKA ftp1.freebsd.org) which is located at the same site.

I just need to find out how you set up access for you there - I will poke Ken Smith who manages ftp-master.us and get back to you.
