You can figure it out by doing "ping -p 00000000ffffffff sup.netbsd.org" and
seeing if you get any errors reported. If it does report errors then repeat
this for each site back towards you. An asymetrically routed connection
screws your head up as the error may be from a router/link you do not see
when going forwards.

On another note, if I ever get my finger out, there will be a full
sup mirror on dumpty.wonderland.org (aka {ftp,sup}.wonderland.org).
Which is good for all UK (and many .nl) sites. If someone with
access to /ftp/sup on ftp.netbsd.org send me the mirror/releases
and current/releases files then I can get going.
