Or Any way to get fast connection when using pkg ? You could always install poudriere and build your own customised repo. That's what I do, as I run customised systems and not all standard packages built with default options run on my machines. It obviously depends on which packages you use and how powerful your machine is, but it takes around 18 hours to build the repo I use, and you only need to rebuild it if you need a new feature or if there's a security vulnerability.
