Freebsd-update fetch failed...

[Marc Coyles]

Evening folks... have just built up a new 7.0-RELEASE box, and have gone to update it to 7.0-RELEASEp11, however, whenever I run freebsd-update fetch I get the following:

bigsis2# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update1.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 7.0-RELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 2 metadata files... failed.

Have tried using update., update1., and update2., but no joy on any of them.

Any ideas? The box talks fine to the net, everything else on it is hunkydorey, so I'm assuming the error isn't at my end... and before anyone asks, I'm stuck with 7.0-RELEASE thanks to cPanel not supporting anything more current than that at the moment (boo hiss).

My other option is to grab the contents of /var/db/freebsd-update/ off my other server, copy over to this new box, and run 'freebsd-update install' and see if it then realises that it has the files and gets on with it... 

Any better suggestions?
