Hello,

Just fetched vuln.xml.bz2 from two sites.  The first was from
Polytrpon's IP address:

 fetch http://213.138.116.80/freebsd/vuln.xml.bz2

and the second was tried from New York:

 fetch http://96.47.72.77/freebsd/vuln.xml.bz2

In both cases the output of sha256 compares with the same file installed
at /var/db/pkg by pkg.

How many servers can the OP try?

Cheers ...

Marek
