 * 2) the file is not deleted if the transfer times out or is
 *    interrupted, but this is actually a bug.

Sorry, bsd.port.mk can't cope with -r.  If a file is left behind from
an aborted transfer, bsd.port.mk will see it and won't call fetch --
it will just go ahead and bomb in checksum.  This is a feature.

The problem is that bsd.port.mk cannot tell if a file is a result of
an aborted transfer.  (Humans can, but not a script.)

Even if it somehow tried, you might get connected to a different
master site the second time around.  What will happen if -r is
specified?
