Get the most recent reason of mirror from ports (2.8) . Then you should also have the most recent version of Perl (5.002 I believe; is also in the ports collection). Make sure that mirror uses this version of Perl (you may have to edit the mirror script for this). After that, it will work MUCH better. I think your problem is from a memory leak in version 4 of Perl. (I had the same problem; solved it as described) Michael
