pkg_add -r openoffice Error: FTP Unable to get ftp:

[David Armour]

hello,

the handbook directions seem direct and specific. but
#pkg_add -r openoffice
...
produces:

Error: FTP Unable to get 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/openoffice.tbz: 
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/openoffice.tbz' 
by URL

is this a handbook, freebsd, kde or openoffice issue? combination of all 
four? or something specific to 'dumb newbie'?
