The docsnap.sk.FreeBSD.org (as well as ftp.sk and cvsup.sk) server is
currently offline due to some problems after its update.

Unfortunately it's been a vacations period here and we were unable to get
personally to the box and fix it. However I have been told that the
issue should be resolved tommorrow, so I would recommend you to try
tommorrow or a bit later.
