I should provide a couple more details of what I've seen:
- The portsnap fetch downloads the 49MB .tgz, and it extracts
properly. This file is not corrupted (passes gzip checksum).
- In the portsnap/snap directory, many of the <checksum>.gz
files are correct, but many (looks like 1/4?) of them are
truncated somehow. They are gzip files, but they are corrupted.
