While I can't say for sure if pkg is doing something unintended, there seems to be something on my system that is downloading INDEX without my knowledge. My usual way of updating my INDEX is using p5-FreeBSD-Portindex to generate the INDEX file, and using that INDEX to update the files that portupgrade uses. I run that manually, so I have nothing that would do that for me automatically, to my knowledge. Thanks, Naram Qashat
