[OpenBSD]

The OpenBSD 2.1 Release:

The most recent OpenBSD release is 2.1. The files are available on a number of FTP and AFS mirror servers. For the 2.1 release, look in the 2.1/ directory on whichever server you choose.

Binary Snapshots:

Binary snapshots will be made available from time to time on the ftp mirrors. A snapshot is a release build done by a developer as a test of the system. These snapshot builds might work OK or... they might not. The snapshots are made available for people who have specifically requested a build based on more recent sources. The snapshots are available on each of the FTP servers in the directory snapshots. If you plan to use a snapshot, you should 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 only on a small network pipe in Canada, and that bandwidth is used primarily by the developers.
