The RE team has been busy with actual releases since about that date:
first 9.0 and at the moment 8.3. Even so, this does seem to have fallen
by the wayside.
As an alternative, allbsd.org carries snapshots:
ftp://ftp.allbsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-snapshots/
If you're concerned about downloading OS images from random sites on the
net (and you should be), this site is run by a leading FreeBSD developer
h...@freebsd.org and I think it's trustworthy.
Cheers,
Matthew
