>Organization:
Wurldlink Corporation - San Francisco - Honolulu - Hong Kong
>Environment:

4.0-CURRENT and 3.3-RELEASE

>Description:

problems fetching fd port - it's extremely difficult to fetch the sources
archive for the fd port.

>How-To-Repeat:

trying to build the port, manually fetching and ftp

>Fix:

This port probably needs to have the archive mirrored somewhere so in case
the master site fails, the port will build from fetching elsewhere.
