Newbie's installation of portupgrade fails...

[Aaron Siegel]

Hello Rommel

How are you connecting to the internet?  Were you connected to the internet 
when you tried to install this port? Are you in Japan? I tried to install the 
port myself and was able to download it with out any problems .

Try to ping the one of the ftp servers if successfull you should see the 
output below, if you are in Japan try the to ping the server 
ftp.jp.FreeBSD.org:
I<aj at trekster>$ ping ftp.iDaemons.org
