Package servers are geo-mirrored and there appears to be a problem with the
mirror closest to me. There doesn't appear to be a way to easily switch
mirrors.

Symptom:
--------

root at acme2:~ # pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: http://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/meta.txz: Not
Found
repository FreeBSD has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: http://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/packagesite.txz:
Not Found
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

Mirror affected:
----------------
I'm situated in Western Australia. The mirror closest to me appears to be in
Malaysia:

FreeBSD.org ftp server
This is ftp0.kul.FreeBSD.org - a Malaysian mirror for FreeBSD downloads.

It is generously hosted by the Malaysian Research & Education Network near
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This server's contents:

Current FreeBSD ftp data
FreeBSD.org home
