Fetch runs in the background and you have to stop it multiple times. 2. Fetch leaves a truncated file in /usr/ports/distfiles which much be deleted by hand. Is there any chance for a return to the old behavior (cntl-C stops fetch, file deleted) for 4.1? It's a lot friendlier for us dial-up folk... - Mike H.
