pkg hangs with no error

[Fervent Dissent]

I'm in Taiwan and just now pkg breaks. I have used it before, and I think I
was using pkg.tw.FreeBSD.org which responds to pings still. I've tried many
modifications to the conf files and the only time I get anything is if I
put

packagesite: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest
or packagesite: pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest
into /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

# pkg update
Updating repository catalogue

is all I see if I use any other form of config or repo file. If I leave the
previously working repo file with the additional line in pkg.conf it
downloads the 2 files then hangs again. I had to mv the FreeBSD.conf file
to another dir because FreeBSD.conf.bck would still get read. Then I got
the output at the end of this email. It does nothing but wait.
