Now you're close to my point :-) In the company, where I'm at the moment, I've an uplink to Internet of 2 mb, at home I've 64 kbit; so my idea was to fetch, lets say 4 CD at high speed, burn them and use them at home for the needed disfiles; it seems that this would be a good idea to place somewhere a start collection of the disfiles matching exactly the versions which will be fetched by the ports, at least for the the most common parts of the ports collection, don't you think so? some wweks ago I was in Havana giving talks about FreeBSD and after that I let my 5.4-REL disfiles there in some central servers so that the folks can setup a 5.4-REL desktop system with KDE and so on, and without needing access to Internet...
