Anyone know of a mirror other than current.freebsd.org that carries the 5.0 snapshots? i wanna play with it, but there's no way i'm installing an entire OS at 15 kbps...
has anyone used 5.0 yet? anything new/cool?

You can save yourself sometime by not fetching packages, ports, src and XF86336.
The compressed files in src have smaller size but too slow to fetch them.
If you cvsup the src after install, file size is larger, but you can fetch with a faster speed, if you pick the fast cvsup server (no longer current.freebsd.org, many cvsup servers carry current src, too).
