OK: To rule out any implications I disabled the http-proxy in my .profile first. I checked for - ftp ftp://... - ftp http://... Both connections were terminated after 95 seconds (according to pftop) after closing with ^C. Now with http-proxy-variable being unset I gave 'pkg_add' another try: With 145 open connections the connection to the internet was lost.
