Troubles upgrading to 10.3 version

I 'd like to upgrade 10.2 to 10.3, so i'm following this handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/installation.html but i have this:
Code:
#  freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-STABLE from update5.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-STABLE from update6.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-STABLE from update4.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-STABLE from update3.freebsd.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
Why? How do i solve?
 
Since you are performing a minor version upgrade, you need to specify the release name:
freebsd-update -r 10.3-STABLE upgrade
freebsd-update fetch is used only to download security patches for your current release (in your case 10.2-STABLE).
 
A related question -Can you use freebsd-update to move to 10.3 RELEASE version? This is coming from 10.2 STABLE.

Minor version release type freebsd-update upgrade. Stable to Release.
 
Ok thank you, i understand and i know the meaning of the commands but my problem really now is this:
Code:
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-STABLE from update5.freebsd.org... failed.
Why? How do i fix it?

You can not update or upgrade STABLE with freebsd-update. You need to fetch the source and build the world and the kernel.
 
Try to set the env as

Code:
setenv UNAME_r "10.3-RELEASE"

then run

Code:
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.3-RELEASE
