so here is.

i chose master FTP site, and http proxy and of course IP,gateway and DNS 
(IPv4)

at beginning of OS install it shows

"Checking access to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/some_directory"

6 or 7 times with different directories. on debug console there is

"Zero length name or value passed to variable_set2(httpFtpMode)" two times 
for each directory checked.

after this normal installation begins and goes smoothly.

and that will be OK, but when things comes to installing from ports 
collection it does that things for EVERY port fetched, and it takes more 
time to do this "checking access" than to actually fetch file.
