Xorg installation error

[giwrg98]

Hey guys,
I finally installed FreeBSD but now I want to install xorg. So I typed pkg_add -r xorg and everything was fine for a minute but then I took an error saying:

Error : Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.3-release/All/expat-2.0.1_1.tbz: Connection reset by peer

What is wrong?

wrong URL path

8.3 RELEASE has not yet exit so that there has not "packages-8.3-release" directory at the ftp server, you can see
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/

So what can I do to fix that?

You'll need to change the PACKAGESITE variable, some examples here http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=20071

I tried to enter setenv PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-current/ but it told me

setenv: syntax error

Leave out the "=".

Ok, now it does not give an error but it stacks while saying

Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/All/winitzki-cyrillic-1.0.1.tbz... Done.

I have left it for some hours and now it has shown me:

Error: Unable to get [url]ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-Broken[/url] pipe

cd /usr/ports/ftp/wget
make install && rehash
cd [where the partial file is] [FILE]/usr/ports/packages/All ??? [/FILE]
wget -c -nd http://...

Pretty sure that will resume the failed download if you supply the full url.

It tells me that /usr/ports is not a directory....
