I see stuff like this when installing bigger packages i.e. boost, on a slow
box (i386 266 MHz/128MB RAM)
Manually fetching the packages, and running pkg_add against the downloaded
package
then always works fine.
I was always wondering if there is kind of a timeout in pkg_add or the like,
for the case where
the file retrieval via http is slow.
