solved the problem by random select repo in installation program. It taked a while.

Why doesn't the FreeBSD installer have repository testing or a way to change mirrors without restarting, when repository access is such a common problem?
 
in our experience, large downloads stalling out for no obvious reason tends to indicate a problem with path MTU discovery, often caused by your firewall dropping ALL icmp. Make sure your firewall is passing ICMP types timex, paramprob, and unreach.

Thanks to answer!

Will you provide what should I do for LAN tests? That's typical home cable 100mbit internet. There's no firewall between Freebsd and internet - only unmanageble gate


The irony is that we recently discussed how FreeBSD fell behind Linux. I mentioned at the time that FreeBSD is actually quite decent, and I have warm memories of it from the y2k epoch . I thought I should give it a try now - it must have become more user-friendly over the years. But as it turned out, I spent the entire night battling with repos. Meanwhile, I've never encountered such problems with any Linux distribution. Just the other day, I was testing the latest Debian without any issues with repos.
