I had this same problem when I was on dial up line. Once I got cable ISP internet connection the problem never happened again. Those ftp sites are busy and dial up connections degrade performance for the other concurrent users logged onto the ftp site and so dial up users get timed out and dropped. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Michael D. Norwick Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 2:59 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Numerous ftp timeouts - why? New to FreeBSD not new to *nix. Have the docs/handbook/faq, etc. Using freebsd 6.0 RELEASE on Compaq Proliant 2500R. Why when trying to install various apps from ports do the ftp sessions frequently timeout? If I manually fetch packages from sites the download goes ok, but this means I have to copy files to /usr/ports/distfiles manually. did 'man fetch' but still no clue as to why this happens.
