ftp: -: short write on current when using pkg_add on ftp mirrors

Hi all,

there was a similar thread on misc a few days ago. I'm using current
and can't update packages anymore.

#export
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386/

#pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends
Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386/:
Unknown command.
Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386/:
ftp: -: short write
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
Temporary error, sleeping 5 seconds
...

I've tried a couple of ftp mirrors and not a single one did work. This
error persists since a couple of weeks.

The big surprise is that it works without problems on 3.9 boxes.

Is there a way to make it also work on current?

regards,
Andreas
