Erwin Lansing emailed me off list:

Thanks Erwin, You're right, nslookup:
Name: ftp.freebsd.org
Address: 87.51.34.132
Address: 204.152.184.73
For me in Munich Germany the Danish mirror
87.51.34.132 ftp.beastie.tdk.net.
is 10 times faster than USA.
204.152.184.73 freebsd.isc.org.
But I wouldn't want to load Denmark needlessly either, so look
forward to reading follow up I see starting re. bitorrent &
fastest_cvsup etc. Thanks all !
Cheers,
Julian
