That said; it's unwise to rely on just one host to determine whether this is a problem or not; please consider using at least ftp.freebsd.org as well and if possible also a third one (ftp3.freebsd.org or something random) so that we can really exclude stuff there. I also advise you to continue this on the Questions@ mailinglist which you can find on http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions they will be able to help and assist you much quicker since this is a very different platform and not really a support platform. Thank you for using FreeBSD and reporting this issue! Cheers, Remko -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder ** remko@elvandar.org FreeBSD ** remko@FreeBSD.org /* Quis custodiet ipsos custodes */
