These don't return anything.

rootSS002:~ 181:1# file `which fetch`
/usr/bin/fetch: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Returns nothing.

I am unable to use fetch to download the packages over ftp,
but wget works just
peachy over ftp.  I don't have any gui clients, but firefox
seems to work
without a hitch as well.

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding world to track 6
STABLE, in hopes
that it will do some good.  I'll give your workarounds a
shot, it sure beats
manually grabbing packages.  Every little bit helps!
