I assume you mean plain ol' DES crypt.  Since you happen to have a .uk
domain, get it from ftp.internat.freebsd.org, or from any European
FreeBSD mirror that carries the `des' distribution of FreeBSD.

Don't get it from US, you would endanger the administrator of the
server you're fetching it from.
