I believe, in his case that would be "traceroute ftp.tr.freebsd.org". 
The list of mirrors is here 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

in any case, "anything *.freebsd.org" actually refers to plenty of hosts 
all over the world -- some might be slow, some very fast.

On the other hand, "Address could not be found" type of errors indicates 
something else than "fast" or "slow".
