Sorry, but this does not make any sense to me. How are you trying to install 
FreeBSD on Linux? FreeBSD is an operating system, not an application.

If you want to learn how to install FreeBSD you should start with The 
Handbook:

English: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

another alternative:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/zh_CN.GB2312/books/handbook/index.html

You may notice there is no mention of any downloading from www.fsmware.com. 
Perhaps the instructions you are trying to follow are incorrect? The 
Handbook might be better as it is the official documentation for FreeBSD.

Nope. It is a problem with government politics in China and not FreeBSD 
related.
