Generally, but not always, this means the ftp server is busy (i.e., at its peak user level) and refuses your connection. The fact that you were able to log in yourself may just be attributed to luck :-) Since you were able to fetch the .gz, just copy it to /usr/ports/distfiles and run make in the port's directory again. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
