Trouble with ports(error code 1) and pkg(size mismatch error)

Hello,

I am new to the forum, been using FreeBSD for about 6 months, linux user before that for a year, so I'm still a newb when it comes to this. I have been having the most frustrating issue when trying to install from ports or packages. This happens with many different ports/packages, currently the one I am trying to install is games/flare-game(an rpg game). So, I updated the ports tree using # portsnap fetch extract but when I attempt to build and install the port, I get the following:

Code:

I also tried to install the game using the pkg utility too. First I updated the package repository with: # pkg update -f and then I tried to install the game and got this:

Code:

I have tried looking all over for an answer to this, and most people recommend using #pkg update -f, saying that it usually fixes this problem in the repository. I am at a loss as what to do to fix this problem. I would appreciate any help that anyone has to give.
 
Lol, yeah, I do. I've been using the hotspot on my phone lately since I just moved to a new apartment and have not yet set up internet service. So, u think using a different internet connection would help? I have noticed that this problem seems to happen with large packages most often, so it would make sense. I'll try a different internet connection (faster, more reliable) and get back with an update. Thanks for the quick reply.
 
Pretty much all the errors you're getting are the result of broken connections or drops. So I definitely think things will improve with a better internet connection. It doesn't need to be fast but it does need to be reliable.
