Because it is using ftpio and not libfetch? Just guessing. The difference is important to us as the machine's default route is a modem link, but it is connected to a 2Mbit/s link through a proxy. >How-To-Repeat: pkg_add -r lynx and fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-current/Latest/lynx.tgz pkg_add lynx.tgz rm lynx.tgz and notice the difference in speed (and route). >Fix: Make pkg_add use libfetch for all I/O Which means you can use any URL on the command line. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
