Maybe the FTP control connection is timing out before the data connection,
the fetch(1)/ftp(1) cant gracefully send a disconnect command?
Try HTTP instead?
I think that you can set FETCH_COMMAND or FTP_COMMAND or
FETCH_CMD ?= /usr/bin/ftp -V -m
To enable debugging
Use tcpdump(8) if things get back.

Hi,
Not sure if this is a new problem, or specific to 4.1 on powerpc, or all
architecture.
But I setup a few times an old iMac for my sun that really wanted to try
OpenBSD desktop setup and so far loved it! (;
In the process of installing packages on it, I always have the same issue
recurring at various places, but always constant however.
I can do pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/`machine
-a`/enlightenment-0.16.7.2p2.tgz or many other packages, like the
kdebase-3.5.6.tgz, etc.
All goes well, but some dependency will stop and freeze the download when all
is finish and the screen display 100%, or sometime 96% and nothing happen
after that.
looking at top, etc. I see that the process of download is really finish and
the only ting I do is to kill the ftp process, nothing else and then the
pkg_add process continue as normal and all is install properly, etc. This
happen on many packages, sometime twice in the same process out or 50 for
example.
I never had to do this before and I haven't tested, or have problem on i386
or AMD64 yet. I am not saying there is issue on them, or that there isn't
either. I haven't tested that yet as I install a much limited number of
packages on my servers and never did I experience this problem yet.
I don't know if that's following many changes to the pkg_add that was done
for 4.1 and definitely continue heavy now from source-changes@, but I thought
to pass that along and if you need more details, I could provide some. Didn't
try current yet as the kid spend a lots of time ready the FAQ to get this
going and I had to help out because of the issue on the powerpc install not
creating the MSDOS partition properly for the i one. I have to follow step by
step the process here:

Meaning trick the disklabel to get it going.
Best,

Guilty? Yeah. But he knows it. I mean, you're guilty.
You just don't know it. So who's really in jail?
