The OpenBSD 2.1 Release:
The most recent OpenBSD release is 2.1.
You can find these files in OpenBSD/2.1
on each listed FTP server. They are also avalable via
AFS.
Binary Snapshots:
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 OpenBSD/snapshots.
If you plan to use a snapshot, you should also read the
general description about OpenBSD snapshots.
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.

This is a list of currently known AFS servers:
- /afs/ualberta.ca/mirror/openbsd/
This is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The file structure of each FTP/AFS server is roughly:
- .../OpenBSD/2.1/
-- where you find our most recent release. X11 is included if
possible.
- .../OpenBSD/snapshots/
-- for major architectures, we tend to build mini releases of unknown
stability and quality about every month or so.p
- .../OpenBSD/src/
-- a checkout of our daily source tree for those who want to access
individual files. Normally we recommend the use of
CTM or AnonCVS
instead of mirroring this location.
- .../OpenBSD/tools/
-- various other little bits..
People setting up new FTP mirrors will be interested in
the following disk space usage estimates:
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
