Re downloading, You are aware of the 'fetch-recursive' target?

[stijn@pcwin002] </usr/ports/www/mozilla> make fetch-recursive
=3D=3D=3D> Fetching all distfiles for mozilla-1.2.1_1,2 and dependencies

So just go online, run 'make fetch-recursive' for all the ports you
want to install and then go offline while you build them.

Or use the portupgrade port:

[stijn@pcwin002] <~> portinstall -FR www/mozilla=20

should do the same trick (but this is untested).

Re resuming, I am not sure but I believe fetch can already do this.
Try doing something like 'make FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=3D-r fetch' (or -recursive=
).

HTH,

I really hate this damned machine
I wish that they would sell it.
It never does quite what I want
But only what I tell it.
