Hmm, not sure I follow your arithmetic here :-)
I know this is probably too late for 2.2.5, but I thought it might be
worth mentioning anyway. What do people think to putting the size of
the tarball somewhere in the skeleton for each port? This would be
very helpful for people with poor Internet connectivity. Quite a few
times I've thought about installing a port, but wasn't sure how long
a download I was letting myself in for. Currently, the only way this
can be done is by looking on the master site.
Something along the lines of:-
