Hello, until recently I mostly used update3.freebsd.org for upgrading my FreeBSD installations since I found that it was much much faster at my location than the other ones. However this server does not seem to exist anymore: # host update3.freebsd.org Host update3.freebsd.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Does anybody know what happened to it or of it will ever come back? As far as I understand this was the only FreeBSD update server in Europe, and losing it makes updating quite a bit more time consuming.

As I was informed, mirrons are in AWS now and you could try aws.update.freebsd.org.
