I just now installed 6.0 from cd and installed all my ports using the pkg_add command and its default ftp server. Took less than 2 hours start to finish. I have no firewall or "packetshaper" in between. So there is nothing wrong with Freebsd 6.0 or pkg_add command. pkg_add uses fetch in passive mode as default. Look very hard at your "packetshaper" or firewall as source of your problem. Try turning then off before you run the pkg_add command again. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Sean Murphy Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 12:38 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: pkg_add down! i have set my PACKAGESITE to ftp3 and ftp10 and then monitored the throughput with my "packetshaper" and it looks as though there is a problem. I use pkg_add -r perl and pkg_add -r nessus-plugins noth of them going to different ftp servers one on 3 and the other on 10 however checking the ftp traffic flow during this process is a little concerning. It will start some traffic not much in the 500 bytes to start the transfer but then drop to 0 for minutes at a time. I am running FreeBSD xxx.xxx.xxx 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005 root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 if I go to the ftp site with my browser it seems to work fine. What should I do as the package never seems to download. is there a queue on the ftp servers? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
