the x86 pkgsrc builders have direct connection to nyftp.netbsd.org, so
when a pbulk run is complete the resulting packages are uploaded to
nyftp.netbsd.org. Then ftp.netbsd.org periodically rsyncs from
nyftp.netbsd.org (I don't know how often though). So ftp.netbsd.org may
be behind nyftp.netbsd.org by a few hours (maybe up to a day).
