Hello Freebsd community, I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. I am on my third install of freebsd9.0release; and this time around I wasnt able to install xorg, firefox, scrotwm,from the repository. I was however,able to install nano and sudo though.

this is what I get when trying to install xorg,firefox,etc

Code: 
> pkg_add -r xorg
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/Latest/xorg.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/Latest/xorg.tbz' by URL
If anyone could help me out I will be indebted. Also firefox is running real slow and boot seems longer.
 
Sounds like a networking problem. Can your machine get out of the network? I mean, does it have a right IP address, name resolver, and can get online?
Output from commands like ifconfig(1),output from # netstat -nr and the /etc/resolv.conf file are the first thing to check.
