If pkg_add and pkg_info are slow on OpenBSD, try to change to a different mirror in /etc/installurl. Mine was set to the closest one geographically (here in Sweden), but it was unbearably slow (perhaps because it's FTP over HTTPS?). I set it to the one in Copenhagen and now everything's instant.

@thomholwerda There is also the matter that geographically-closest doesn't necessarily mean "has a decent route from your ISP's network", though I had that pegged as more of a Germany problem
@HaTetsu @thomholwerda All I'm taking away from this is that Denmark > Sweden
@thomholwerda @ah Have I kicked off something I don't understand
@thomholwerda
Haha no, it is either
ftporhttps. I do understand the confusion when the URI is something likehttps://ftp.whateverdoma.in- but that only means it is served overhttps.We already have
ftp,ftps,ftpes,sftp, no need to addhttpsftpto that as well.
