Few more things, there are two more servers that could be used for downloading of releng sets:

ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/NetBSD-daily/ (via ftp/http/rsync) (info)
ftp://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/ (via ftp/http) (info)

I believe Europe folks would prefer the closer site.
At the time when I was writing script I did not know of ftp site that provided releng builds. That's why I used awk to parse the output that comes when using http in stead of ftp. Using ftp is much simpler.

At the end, a warning/useful info why/who should (not) use the daily builds:
