You may want to see how many files you have downloaded under
/var/db/freebsd-update. The patches were applied. It appears it was only an
issue of getting more files. As the program is running you can do an ls
under /var/db/freebsd-update to see how many files are being downloaded.

Have you tried running the command again?
-jgh
