@82mhz@mastodon.bsd.cafe Try displaying the ip addresses with "ifconfig -a": if you have an IPv6 address, this means your download is stuck in trying connecting through IPv6. It will time out eventually and switch back to ipv4. I have the same issue with VM so many times, especially since qemu DHCP server offers both ipv4 and IPv6. NetBSD uses IPv6 first.
