I meant downloading everything such as ftp://ftp.fb.org/usr/ports/tree/downloadus/*/*.* by downloading one file called ftp://ftp.fb.org/usr/ports/tree/downloadus.tar I just went and got the jdk13 ports manually by ftp'ing each file and telling w3m (text browser) where to save each file.

You asked how to make it work, and I told you. You This isn't a matter of trust or distrust. I believe this is an open forum and as such, second opinions may be solicited.

I can't say it many more ways ::) Can you say it using proper grammar please? "Build collection required ports-base" (huh?) "is any the for work port to."

Well thanks for trying Adam, but I am no less confused and is any the less for work required.
