    Hi there,
    for an feature I really need wget on the pfsense.
    I tried to install it with pkg_add -r wget
    This Downloaded all files, but failed then on installing.
    With pkg_delete I can't remove it, because it ain't installed,
    with pkg_add I can't install because "its installed" (it is not, no wget on the system…).
    How to correctly get wget onto the system?
    ( Sorry, I never worked with FreeBSD before... )

      Found it: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,24590.msg127322.html#msg127322
      rehash solved the problem.
      So to install:

      pkg_add -r wget
      rehash

        The program "fetch" is on the system by default and it can do much of what wget does as well. For most people, fetch is enough so adding wget isn't necessary. (And curl is there, too, depending on what packages you have installed)
