Have you been able to perform the download manually? This is _not_ for actual use, but for diagnostics! Is the URI accessed by portupgrade properly constructed? Typically it's a FTP URI that you can check using the system's standard FTP tool (or web browser, if you want). I had similar trouble years ago when portupgrade wasn't considered "mature enough", but today there should be a good reason for a failing download. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
