Still does not work. :-|. I tried this command individually, and here
is what I get:
dexter# /usr/libexec/phttpget update1.FreeBSD.org
6.2-RELEASE/i386/m/0eb7ad6b9097920c37050d513da36a7d759c49b67bcb63fd9b443f545fc50685.gz
phttpget: Connection failure

I tried at different times of the day, but still everytime the script
reaches this step, it fails. Is there a workaround, or any idea as to
why this happens? Thanks!

Best,
