I pinged a few of the mirror sites to choose the fastest one, so, yes I 
can ping them.

I turned off PF temporarily to see if it could be a firewall problem. No 
difference.

I'm also having problems installing ports. I wanted to get vim installed 
while trying to figure out this port upgrade problem. Vim uses lots of 
files and a bunch of them downloaded when I typed 'make install clean', 
but then I ran into a batch that give an error message like below.

I can fetch the files manually, using wget (which installed with no 
problem), but I'm getting a lot of these problems, which means its going 
to take about 5 years to install all the ports I need.

I've never had this problem, before... weird.
