OK, good to know.  Thanks for the fixes.

Actually, and somewhat fortunately, I didn't find any BitTorrent
trackers I like that worked automagically (without login and manual
upload of a .torrent) and with elinks/aria2c/lftp.  aria2c was happy
to ignore a non-existent tracker at localhost and do everything from
web seeds, however.  Of course, it should do equally well using a
metalink, and without the problem of exporting cryptography for
US-based users...

For now, I found the following changes in the GnuPG mirrors:

http://ftp.linux.it/pub/mirrors/gnupg/		new (listed by FreeBSD)
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/gnupg/	new (listed by FreeBSD)
ftp://ftp.bit.nl/mirror/gnupg/			is incomplete
ftp://ftp.demon.nl/pub/mirrors/gnupg/		no longer mirrors gpg
ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/security/gnupg/	stopped mirroring gpg in 2007
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/privacy/gnupg/		serves files, but no listings
http://www.gnupg.ca/				mirrors website, not files
