For quite a while (2 or 3 weeks) the package manager has been trying to install 
a new version of virtualbox from /extra repo. The problem is that it keeps 
getting to 37MB downloaded, and then the progress bar jumps back to 31MB, and 
it gets stuck in this loop, going between 31 and 37MB.

Whenever I let it have another go, it starts the download from the 31MB mark, 
so I'm assuming it has some kind of cache. Is there a way to clear it and let 
it start fresh over? I saw some things on the net saying that /var/pkg/download 
could be safely deleted, which I tried to do, but it was deleting it for over 
an hour and still didn't finish, so I gave up.

Note, the same behaviour is observed if I use command line pkg image-update.

Any tips would be appreciated,
Matt
