That was the first, what I have found, but I get only errors:

#  freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update3.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.


There was also no solution for this problem. I  think it has something to do with the release I run:

 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Thu Jul  7 13:20:14 CEST 2011  

and freebsd-updated wants to fetch GPG files, without success.
