Since changing my server to FreeBSD a few months ago I have already learned a lot about the OS and so but upgrading / updating is still a challenge, especially if it fails.
Does any of you can help me or point me to documentation that can help me solve the following error I get when trying to upgrade to 9.1-RELEASE
It looks to me that it can't seem to download / unpack the files but I can confirm that there are a lot of *.gz files in the /var/db/freebsd-update/files folder.
