 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles
 still only has the previous version(s).
 
 I'm not behind a firewall; I can fetch lots of ports fine.
 
 ..ok, I think I solved it, but don't know the right solution
 yet, whatever it is, it's probably only to spend more time
 configuring my system..
 
 I dial in to an isp, so afaik don't have a real machine name
 or domain, just temporary dynamic ip addresses and whatever local
 machine names I choose, so I set my hostname to just jayk-home1bsd.
 I guess the password is being sent as jayk@jayk-home1bsd and the
 ftp server doesn't like that. I verified manually that logging in as
 jayk@jayk-home1bsd doesn't work but a@b.c does. If I
 "export FTP_PASSWORD=jay.krell@cornell.edu", fetch works.
 
 I guess I should use bsd1@jaykhome.net or something as a hostname..
