pkg install taking its sweet time

[Zeb McCorkle]

I'm not sure if it's supposed to work like this, but when I run pkg install
<insert any package here> it:


   1. takes a very long time to update the repository catalogue
   2. pauses for 15-45 seconds between fetching each file

At least the download speeds are good (saturating my Internet connection),
but it's very annoying having pauses all of the time. This has been
happening since I first installed FreeBSD yesterday.

While I was writing this email, 5 packages had downloaded.
