The nature of the Internet is such that http/ftp servers go offline all the time for short periods of time -- overloaded, network problems, hardware problems, etc. It's rather likely that quite a few ports will happen to have transient fetch errors at the time when the distfile check is done. =20 If the errors are not real then obviously it's really easy to fix them :) --Mike --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/W95OCczNhKRsh48RAgEzAJ9Xnpz/oQH2sB+5iB1SasStyQfq8ACgqZ2r 5ke3hsJb472oYTIrq2Q34Gc= =Q1u0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd--
