All install sets and the OpenBSD cvs repository mirror are available 
via rsync from obsd.cec.mtu.edu.  Are we not fast enough for you?  8*)

Yesterday (7 July 2009) we had a bit of downtime to install a storage 
array for the mirror.  Perhaps you are concerned about our reliability 
due to this.  This mirror has been running for about 18 months with 
downtime only for OS upgrades, this recent HW addition, and about 
10 months ago there was a software issue which has been worked-around.

Please give rsync://obsd.cec.mtu.edu another try, and please use a mirror 
instead of the master, as this is how we structure the fanout process.

Thanks,

Chris Linn, maintainer obsd.cec.mtu.edu
