freebsd-update -r 7.1-RELEASE upgrade
seems to have an effect where 7.0-RELEASE no longer does. I have CCed
freebsd-stable@ on this to see if anyone knows if this is intended or a
mistake.

# freebsd-update -r 7.1-RELEASE upgrade
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
The getting of the public key seems to be the issue no matter how i go about
trying to upgrade .. so my question now is, why is this and are there other
mirror sites that can be used ?
Below is my Uname -a output if it has any relevance..

No idea if the fact you are on a -STABLE branch will matter (it could
well, the box I tried to use the 7.0-RELEASE tag on was a -STABLE box
too,) but my test seems to get different results to yours.
Possibly an issue with the freebsd-update servers/mirrors? more likely
that it doesnt support upgrading from an arbitrary point in the -STABLE
tree.

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic src/base src/bin src/contrib src/crypto src/etc src/games
src/gnu src/include src/krb5 src/lib src/libexec src/release src/rescue
src/sbin src/secure src/share src/sys src/tools src/ubin src/usbin
world/base world/catpages world/dict world/games world/info
world/manpages world/proflibs
The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
src/cddl src/compat world/doc
Does this look reasonable (y/n)? n

I would upgrade to a -RELEASE branch from source then try again.
