Hi Polytropon, I tried accessing the site while off our corporate network and was able to = pull it down so there must be something blocking it while on network. I'm all set now - Thank you for your assistance!

Can you manually fetch the file from that location, for example using, for = example: # ftp ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd64= /packages-8.4-release/Latest/compat6x.tbz or # wget ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd6= 4/packages-8.4-release/Latest/compat6x.tbz The file actually is there and can be downloaded. Check for networking prob= lems or general access to ftp-archive.freebsd.org, you should be able to co= nnect. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... --------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: The infor= mation contained in this electronic mail message is confidential and intend= ed only for certain recipients.
