"me too" :-(

Actually I was switching from sup.de to sup.owl.de since owl.de has
worked much better for me in the past.

Yes, sup.de is not updated as regulary (i.e. daily) as I wish. Update
intervall of this server seems to be something in the range of 2-4 days.

There are quite a few other annoying oddities I experienced with this server
(compared to sup.netbsd.og wich I have to use sometimes).
* ../sys/Makefile gets deleted from time to time (AFAIK some other supservers
  have the same problem)
* some "special" dirs (their dates) are updated with *every* sup without any
  reason, eg. something in xsrc/.../xservers and sys/arch/i386/... - don't
  remember ATM. They're always the same. It's really weird...
* you have to sup nearly *every* README.html with every sup of pkgsrc
  and of course every dir get's updated everytime. IIRC it was you who have
  posted this before.
* at least once the server deleted (well, killed) large parts of my sources
  without any reason, wich I had to resup with "-o" from sup.netbsd.org

The only reason I'm still using sup.de.netbsd.org is that I can fetch files
from it with ~100KB/s at nighttimes :-)

I hope whoever is responsible for this server reads this since I don't know
any email adresses. (should be in the supfile examples IMHO)

Well, at least you can be sure, that your sources are not older than ~5 days...

Bye,
