The output I get is this.

=> ImageMagick-6.2.5-5.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in  
/usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/ImageMagick/.
fetch: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.2.5-5.tar.bz2:  
Connection refused

It then repeats for other various locations with the same error.
I then tried to do it manually.

ross# fetch -v  
ftp://ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/pav/ImageMagick-6.2.5-5.tar.bz2
looking up ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org
connecting to ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org:2100
fetch:  
ftp://ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/pav/ImageMagick-6.2.5-5.tar.bz2:  
Connection refused

I get the same error for every location I try and connect to.

I'm connecting directly to my ISP from this computer.
