Does freebsd-update use ftp://ftp.freebsd.org at all? If so, I'm willing to bet the failure is caused by the FTP server being overloaded. With the announcement of 7.0-RELEASE, people are hammering the server; the few times I've tried to FTP to it, it's been returning "maximum number of connections exceeded" or something along those lines. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
