First off, there should be a message from fetch which says more then "Can't fetch this, try it manually." It could be "file unavailable: file not found, no access" or it might be "/usr/ports/distfiles is not writable by you" or it could be ... well, maybe you get it. Let us know if there's more to the error than just what you quoted. There should be --- there almost *has* to be. > I can fetch manually. Can you manually fetch the *exact* distfile that the port is attempting to fetch? If so, then we need to continue looking at machine config, etc. If not, it suggests that a 5.2.1 ports tree is rather out of date (which is probably is IMHO anyway). Use pkg_add (or sysinstall) to install cvsup, then cvsup the ports tree and try again. KDK
