I'm a Linux guy experimenting with FreeBSD. I like a lot of what I see, but I'm having an issue I hope you on the forum can help me with.
I'm running FreeBSD in a virtual machine (under VirtualBox on Ubuntu 11.10). When I went to install X.org with pkg_add -r xorg, the process seemed to stall indefinitely; pkg_add -rv xorg revealed that the problem comes in downloading packages via FTP, which "gets stuck." It's usually pausing on RETRs, but I just saw it pause on a NOOP. The process does eventually complete, but it takes a ton of time (half an hour or more) to download sub-100k files.
I can fetch these files on the host, and I can fetch them on the guest with curl or ftp(1). Any idea what may be causing this?
