Package Installation

How can I install a package when the network is not cooperating? I issue the command
PHP Code:
 sudo pkg_add -r git 
and I receive
Quote:
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/Latest/git.tbz: Connection reset by peer pkg_add:
unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/Latest/git.tbz' by URL


Can I install this package some other way?

Do you have the install package downloaded on another media (such as a CD-ROM or USB key). If not, you could go to another computer that has an internet connection enabled, grab the package and transfer it to a CD or USB key.

Then plug in the media to your freebsd box and mount it (I'm assuming it is mounted on /mnt/cdrom here)

Then, you can install it with:
cd /mnt/cdrom
sudo pkg_add git.tbz

Hope this helps.
