    No this isn't insufficient, what is insufficient is that I currently
    can't run a local freebsd-update server. I'm quite limited by bandwidth
    here, you see. What would make more sense in my situation would be to
    have a local mirror of the 'official' freebsd-update server so that
    all of my machines can sync to that rather than all of them downloading
    over the WAN.

    Cheers!
