Something up with OpenBSD ftp site today? It was returning "too many users" earlier today (I wishfully thought they were putting 3.4 up for early ftp retrieval); then, when it started accepting connections again, the directory structure was whacked. /pub/OpenBSD just returned with a partial file list, but much is missing..."
It looks like it's still acting a bit funny this morning, too. I asked around and it's a hardware problem which is being worked on. For the time being, a mirror should suffice for most people.

Could be anything hogging up that server, not necessarily related to OpenBSD.

Does anyone have any advice about preventing unwanted propagation of errors like this? I normally use rsync with the "--delete" flag, but I imagine that even without "--delete", there would still be a danger of zero-length files.

# Update OpenBSD snapshots daily
RSYNC_SERVER=rsync.plig.org::OpenBSD
#30 8 * * * rsync -qPtzr --delete $RSYNC_SERVER/snapshots/i386 ~ftp/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/
I used to use carroll.cac.psu.edu, but they impose a connection limit during the normal business day; it's almost impossible to get in.

The FTP servers listed in ANNOUNCE.TXT are currently beeing pre-loaded with 3.4 to make sure there are enough 'big' mirrors out there to satisfy initial demand.
To quote from the previous 3.3 release:
Read either of the following two files for a list of ftp mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you:
http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ftplist
As of May 1, 2003, the following ftp sites have the 3.3 release:
ftp://ftp.ca.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Alberta, Canada
ftp://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Boulder, CO, USA ftp://ftp7.usa.openbsd.org/pub/os/OpenBSD/3.3/ West Lafayette, IN, USA ftp://openbsd.wiretapped.net/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Sydney, Australia
ftp://ftp.kd85.com/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Ghent, Belgium
ftp://ftp.calyx.nl/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Amsterdam, Netherlands
ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Stockholm, Sweden
ftp://ftp.linux.org.tr/pub/OpenBSD/3.3/ Turkey
Other mirrors will take a day or two to update.

Unofficial ISO, so no md5sum etc.

Enjoy :-)

then it is PERFECTLY in line with all the goals stated
for the project. If he somehow made copies from the CD
then he should be ashamed of course, since they are
copyrighted.

I did email sup@openbsd a couple of weeks ago offering to host anoncvs server in the uk, since there isn't currently one. No reply. If the openbsd team would like one, and maybe a second ftp mirror in the uk, give me a prod. Bandwidth isn't a problem.

I'm maintaining the unix ports of an Open Source app. It is in most linux distro's, and all BSDs (with Darwin soon to follow).
If they all had the same stupid policy as OpenBSD, I _would_ be in dire straits.
As a result, the OpenBSD support in our package (a compiler) is the worst of all popular unices, since I can't convince my collaborators and beta testers to install OpenBSD because of this stupid rule.

If we weren't paranoid we would be using windows right? ;-)
