I've been installing and wiping FreeBSD installations a lot recently, and I've noticed that the FTP servers aren't all that accomodating of installation.

For example, only 1-in-4 or 1-in-5 installations from ftp.freebsd.org is successful (these are all minimal installations done through FTP, no proxy or other intermediary); despite being on a reliable residential fiber connection, many of my installation attempts seem to fail on installing 'crypto' and 'base' packages.

What's happening when these installations fail? Am I being bumped from the FTP servers? Can anything be done to make installation via FTP more reliable?
