Hey, thanks for answering !

OK, here is what happens if I try something like asclock which wasn't 
installed:

pkg_add -r asclock
Error: FTP Unable to get 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/ports/i386/packages-7.1-release/Latest/asclock.tbz 
File unavailable (e.g., File not found, no access) 
pkg_add: unable to 
fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/ports/i386/packages-7.1-release/Latest/asclock.tbz' 
by URL

So basically, if I try to use pkg_add -r now, it won't work. It didn't happen 
until I did the upgrading or updating, so I'm thinking I made a screw up.

Thansk again for the quick response :)
