Hi,

I've made some research and this issue seems to be (Free)BSD-specific 
and occurs when you dont have an IPv6 interface configured. You can get 
around this by adding -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true but you'll still 
have the same old issues (slow downloads and no upload at all) as 
before. This two links have a lot more to tell regarding this issue 
(this is beyond my abilitiy to debug).
