One of things I suffer on #FreeBSD using an #Iranian connection, is that all package mirrors are terribly slow.
Currently, as a workaround, I'm using #proxychains with the FreeBSD package manager. Unfortunately, setting a SOCKS5 #proxy through pkg.conf does not seem to work.
Using a proxy or a #VPN is not a big deal for a typical developer based in #Iran. But it's the first time I have to change IP(and route) to properly use an OS's first class package manager.
Maybe I could host a mirror for Iranians if FreeBSD stays as my main OS. Tho I don't see much point with only myself being the FreeBSD user in here.
