Hello,

For what it's worth, I am still seeing the same thing on an AMD64
8.2-RC2 system:

$ sudo freebsd-update -v debug upgrade -r 8.2-RC3
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... fetch:

Fetching public key from update3.FreeBSD.org... fetch:

No mirrors remaining, giving up.
