You changed your PKG_PATH or pkg.conf to that URL and ran 'sudo pkg_add
-u', right?

Can you give examples of what's going wrong from the logs? They should
show up in /var/log/messages.
Also, there's a pretty well-populated mailing list for Tor on the BSDs:
http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/tor-bsd
You may have better luck there. I suspect that this problem has a pretty
simple fix, though. I've been running snapshots for about five months
and have never had an issue with Tor (which I use daily), so I think
it's specific to your machine.
