Thanks, but is pkg(8) STILL not eclipse-proof?  I want my money back!

cheers, Ian

Speaking of mirrors, just for Antipodeans:

 > https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/10.4/

is very slow (~100KB/s) from here tonight - must be your eclipse? - but

 ftp://ftp3.au.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/10.4/ 

delivered both a dvd1.iso and memstick.img at >1MB/s on ADSL.  ftp.au 
was refusing connections, and ftp2.au has only up to 10.3 currently.

cheers, Ian
