Problems with ftp.netbsd.org,binary packages

Hi,

I am having trouble searching for packages on ftp.netbsd.org
and
several mirrors. Those portions of the archives containing
the binary
packages seems to have disappeared: trying to browse from
the links on
http://
www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/ is futile. 

The mirrors I have tried (ftp2.us and ftp3.us) also seem to
have these
portions missing. If the main server lost these contents it
seems the
change has already propagated outwards. Is this planned or
has such a
major problem just not been noticed?

Thanks

No, it just looks like the page is not keept up to date.
Binary packages are in /pub/pkgsrc these days ...

Thank you for the help. Is there a list of mirrors for
pkgsrc somewhere
if/when the main site is unavailable?

I don't think there's one at the moment.
