Obviously, the script that checks & generates this list can only go by
what information is available when it runs.  The nature of the Internet
is such that http/ftp servers go offline all the time for short periods
of time -- overloaded, network problems, hardware problems, etc.  It's
rather likely that quite a few ports will happen to have transient fetch
errors at the time when the distfile check is done. =20

If the errors are not real then obviously it's really easy to fix them
:)
