It appears to be, although I have never taken the time to confirm it, dependent on what URL portsnap is attempting to download from. The problem usually goes away in 24 to 72 hours. As far as I can tell, it does not require any user intervention; although I suppose you could try playing around with it. Honestly, the vicissitude of "portsnap" is something that I have become accustomed to. I just ran portsnap and got this output: Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap5.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... done. Updating from Mon Feb 14 06:59:32 EST 2011 to Tue Feb 15 06:30:44 EST 2011.

Fetching 4 new ports or files... done. Removing old files and directories... done. Possible the problem has all ready dissipated. -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
