It depends on what kernel you are running. $ sysctl -n kern.version | head -1 OpenBSD 6.3-current (GENERIC.MP) #6: Thu Jul 5 21:40:47 BST 2018 -> fetches -current packages $ sysctl -n kern.version | head -1 OpenBSD 6.3 (GENERIC.MP) #107: Sat Mar 24 14:21:59 MDT 2018 -> fetches release packages Also I would recommend against using ftp.openbsd.org, pick a local mirror or if using releases one of the CDNs instead ..
