I'm not sure why you are having the issue with pkg_add, but I can say I've 
had lots of intermittent problems along the same lines a long time ago. It 
worked occasionally, but was just too flakey and I just gave up started 
using 'pkgin' (pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin) as soon as it came out.


The bonus is that you will be able to use 'pkgin' to search for packages 
after doing an update with it.


Thanks,

Does'nt work with http either. Also, I'm running NetBSD on VirtualBox
on OS X El Capitan, if that's relevant.
