As you can see from the above fetch fails, but wget works.  This is a problem as fetch is used in the port ezjail and this breaks ezjail as well.
Comment 1 Michael Osipov 2021-08-14 21:14:44 UTC 
Something is wrong with your fetch/libfetch:
root@bsd1srv:/usr/src
#  fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/12.2-RELEASE/base.txz
base.txz                                       25% of  174 MB 4842 kBps    29s^C
fetch: transfer interrupted

root@bsd1srv:/usr/src
# uname -a

Something appears to be wrong with the download site.

fetch -Fpr (the default ports fetch command) consistently hangs.

fetch, fetch -r, and fetch -pr work intermittently.

Scratch that, wrong PR...

The 12.2 release is not in the ftp anymore. Another user stated he was unable to reproduce so am I with 12.3:

fernape@beastie:~$ fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/12.3-RELEASE/base.txz
base.txz                                               174 MB   27 MBps    07s
fernape@beastie:~$ 

Closing.

Feel free to reopen should you find this again.
