mirror via rsync

Mailing list freebsd-hubs perhaps is dead

I will ask here

Why not enable rsync for pkg.freebsd.org and update.freebsd.org?

Because that would require SSH access.

Why? Sufficiently only rsync.
For example (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/hubs/mirror-howto.html):
rsync -vaHz --delete rsync://ftp4.de.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD/ /pub/FreeBSD/
