Every time you provision a new jail or update your fleet, each instance independently connects to public <code>pkg.FreeBSD.org</code> mirrors to download identical packages. If you have a dozen jails running services that need Python, SQLite, or FFmpeg, your WAN connection downloads the exact same binary archives a dozen times.</p>
