Freebsd-update fetch failed

I just installed a FreeBSD 10.1 release for sparc64 (Sun Ultra2).

When I do # freebsd-update fetch
I got this error:
Code: 
Lookin up update.freebsd.org mirrors... 5 morrors found.
Fetching public key from update2.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update4.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update5.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update6.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update3.freebsd.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
I have ping to update.freebsd.org and to all the mirror sites.

When I do # freebsd-update -v debug fetch
I got this error:
Code:

What does that mean and how do I update my system?
 
Thanks a lot.

Another question:
Do you recommend me install software (like bash, apache, mysql, etc) using ports or pkg(8)?
How do I do it?
I know install from ports but not from pkg(8).
 
That's an easy decision. You cannot install from pkg(8) and have to install from ports. Why? Sparc64 is a Tier 2 architecture ;) and nobody has built a package repository for it as far as I know.
 
For the moment yes. There's work being done to get ARM to a Tier 1 status though.
