<h4>The OpenBSD 2.1 Release:</h4>
<p>
The most recent OpenBSD release is 2.1.
You can find these files in <strong>OpenBSD/2.1</strong>
on each listed FTP server.
</p>

<h4>Binary Snapshots:</h4>
<p>
As well, snapshots will be made available from time to time on the ftp mirrors.
The snapshots are available on each of the FTP servers listed below,
typically in the directory <strong>OpenBSD/snapshots</strong>.
If you plan to use a snapshot, you should also read the <a href=snapshots.html>
general description about OpenBSD snapshots</a>.
</p>

<p>
<strong>
NOTE: you cannot fetch binaries directly from cvs.OpenBSD.org or
OpenBSD.org but must use a mirror site.  The main OpenBSD machines are
on a little network pipe in Canada.
</strong>

</ul>

<p>
The file structure of each FTP server is roughly:
</p>

<p>

<ul>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/2.1/</strong><br>
	--  where you find our most recent release.  X11 is included if
	possible.
<p>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/snapshots/</strong><br>
	--  for major architectures, we tend to build mini releases of unknown
	stability and quality about every month or so.p
<p>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/src/</strong><br>
	--  a checkout of our daily source tree for those who want to access
	individual files.  Normally we recommend the use of
	<a href=ctm.html>CTM</a> or <a href=anoncvs.html>AnonCVS</a>
	instead of mirroring this location.
<p>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/tools/</strong><br>
	--  various other little bits..
</ul>
</p>

<p>
People setting up new FTP mirrors will be interested in
the following disk space usage estimates:

<pre>
   315MB  2.0        (OpenBSD 2.0 release)
   500MB  2.1        (OpenBSD 2.1 release)
    27MB  domestic   (domestic distributions, i.e. hp300)
   500MB  snapshots  (current snapshots, normally >= 2.1 distribution size)
   244MB  src        (ftpable src tree, checked out from anoncvs nightly)
     1MB  tools      (helpful tools for OpenBSD stuff..) 
  --------------
   1.5GB  Total -- all collections
</pre>
