Pkg upgrade question

[Jason Pope]

Thank you for the quick response.

No, I don't believe other connections take this long to establish. At least
navigating between websites works fine and appears to be very responsive.

I just installed a new package with "sudo pkg install wget"; it takes
several minutes for the "Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue..." to
complete. I then get the response, "Proceed with this action? [y/N]:". I
answer "y" and it again takes right at 75 seconds for the download to begin.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his
friends.
