Not to take away from any of the other great responses, I just want to throw out there that I use fastest_cvsup to find the csup server with the lowest latency: # pkg_add -r fastest_cvsup ... and then run it like this: # fastest_cvsup -c ca,us Given that I know where you are, you will likely always be best off with cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org, and put that into your supfile against default host. I then run "csup -L 2 -g /etc/supfile" in cron for once a week. I'll then update the actual system for advisories, new features if they apply to me, or generally any time I turn up a new system or VM to keep them all consistent.
