I have made some unwize partition size choices, and can ill aford the 70+ MB for the entire ports collection. I hve tried to install it without the ports, not getting very far(LOL). I would like to download just the gimp port, and if needed (advise?) the dependent ports. So, to FTP a directory tree. I did it to get XFree86, where the server allows the .tar.gz'ing of a directory. Get /????/????.Xfree86.??.??.tar.gz, done with a at job in the middle of the night from work. I have not found a ports mirror that allows this. My question is - is ther one, or is there another way? (Or, should I Partition Magic myself some space (Urf), and get the entire ports tree?)
