Is there anything similar to this available in CURRENT without having to rearrange (and most likely refuse) bsd.sites.mk? Hmm.. using a shell script to ping and sort the file after each cvsup might be sort of cool, but probably more trouble then it's worth. It's only for those occasional huge distfiles where it really matters (currently, the 77M games/vegastrike snatched from a PR.)
