Gnome broken - pipe?

[neilms]

I tried to install Gnome with pkg_add -r gnome2 just like the Handbook said. Since this morning, I have done this over and over and after a few hours I get a 'broken pipe' message and the downloading stops.

What is the cause of this & and how can I fix it? ?? (I had to use Xfce as an alternative to Lynx & and the command line - which can be awkward).
