yeah but it's probably due to the mirros in the EU ... it really has not been fun to do anything with pkg for the last 6 months. A simple "pkg search" as root (because it downloads metadata) needs 15-40 seconds here (not hardware related - 8core/64GB/1TB nvme idle system, 60MBit connection), a pkg upgrade manages approximately 10 Megabytes per minute, no matter what time of the day. Sometimes, when I am lucky I manage to download 20 MB per minute ... sorry for the rant but this is really annoying
