Issue with installing gcc from ports in FreeBSD 10.0

[anti]

When I try to install gcc I end up with the following:

root@:/usr/ports/lang # cd gcc49
root@:/usr/ports/lang/gcc49 # make install
===> Building/installing dialog4ports as it is required for the config dialog
===>  Cleaning for dialog4ports-0.1.5_2
===>   dialog4ports-0.1.5_2 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/sbin/pkg in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
===>  License BSD2CLAUSE accepted by the user
=> pkg-1.2.4.tar.xz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch http://files.etoilebsd.net/pkg/pkg-1.2.4.tar.xz

It freezes with:

=> Attempting to fetch http://files.etoilebsd.net/pkg/pkg-1.2.4.tar.xz

I am using FreeBSD 10.0.

Update your ports tree. The current version of ports-mgmt/pkg is 1.2.6. Your installation is attempting to fetch version 1.2.4, which is old.

I tried to update but I got:

I would wait awhile and try again. You can do a portsnap fetch update in one command.

It always shows:

fetch: transfer timed out

I don't have any experience using the EU mirrors for portsnap(8). Does it always try to fetch from ec2-eu-west-1.portsnap.freebsd.org?

Just found this: take a look at the second post in portsnap timeout from @DutchDaemon and follow his advice.

I tried to reach http://ec2-eu-west-1.portsnap.freebsd.org/, http://portsnap.freebsd.org/ and http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/ but I can't!
I can not ping them and the browser always shows:

404 - Not Found

It might be a local problem:

I have reinstalled FreeBSD 10.0 multiple times with no benefit, finally I have decided returning back to FreeBSD 9.2 which works fine.
