It continually gives errors similar to the following: Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap6.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap5.FreeBSD.org... failed.

Cowardly refusing to proceed any further. apparently, portsnap will only work successfully once every five or six attempts. In some cases, I receive a message that "no mirrors" were found and the program halts immediately. Has anyone else been experiencing similar results? -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
