freebsd stable - Feb 2007 - Changing portsnap servers

I have just set up a new freeBSD 6.2 server and im trying to change the 
port snap server to use my ISP's mirrored copy as this dosent incure me 
any charges however after editing the portsnap.conf to point to there 
server im getting errors.

currently im using SERVERNAME = mirror.internode.on.net

I have also tryed vairiose combination of the path on the server (e.g. 
SERVERNAME = mirror.internode.on.net/pub/FreeBSD/) to where the snapshot 
is located.howver these result in an error message "bad flag in 
substituete command"

1) I don't think Internode provide a portsnap mirror
2) You can just use the -s argument to portsnap to pick a mirror.
