Thanks Kris!

I found a successful mirror site.

You can FTP through a Windows box or other client but
from FreeBSD 5.2.1 the mirror site I mentioned still
doesn't work with pkg_add or wget (it worked about a
day or two ago) whereas the one below does work for
pkg_add and also wget at this time

ftp://ftp3.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/
