OK, I just reproduced it - it seems portsnap2.FreeBSD.org is out of date. I have poked the admin of the particular mirror (quite easy as it's Colin ;-) ). It is posible to work around this by setting SERVERNAME in portsnap.conf, but I suspect just waiting a bit for Colin to fix this is simpler, also so people don't forget to remove the special hardcoded server from the config once it's working again. Looking up us.portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... done. Latest snapshot on server is older than what we already have!
