Would anyone have insight on problems accessing FTP installation sources for 5.2.1 RC2? I was installing just fine using ftp5.us.freebsd.org (mit.edu, I believe, one of the sources closer to me), and began to have the installation return to the menu for selecting my FTP source. Invariably the install would no longer return to the FTP menu and would ask me if I would like to retry the currently failing package. Replying "Yes" would produce no activity and replying "No" would skip that package and try the next one, exhibiting the same behavior.
I restarted the install from scratch four times last night, and tried many mirrors from the main list and the USA list of FTP mirrors. My ISP had no network issues posted last night, and I could traceroute via my PowerBook on OS X with no issues. Does anyone know what my issue (besides ignorance) might be? Also, is there a way to gracefully get out of error issue with FTP without starting over with my install?
