pkg install failures - Stalled installs

[mstang1988]

Running FreeBSD 9.2 I'm having issues installing packages. They stall and never install. Can you help?

I get the following:

Updating repository catalogue

Update:

Removed

    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"

Same issue. I was hoping it was the keys (that I don't have) causing the problem.

The issue seems to be with your connection. The keys don't come into play until the file has been completely downloaded, it's used to verify the file's signature.

Does this work?

fetch http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/perl5-5.16.3_9.txz

Yes, this did work but it was very bursty. It was stalled for a significant amount of time then picked up and slowed back down. It averaged only 60kbps. It appears you are right, connection/firewall related.
