The license terms for the NEC socks package prevent us from hosting the distfile elsewhere, so you have to fetch it manually (& register for it in the process). This means that when they upgrade to a new version it breaks the port, since the MD5 checksum changes, at a very least. You should contact the maintainer of the port (the MAINTAINER= line in /usr/ports/net/socks5) and see whether he is preparing an updated port. In the meantime, you can try fetching the distfile by hand as explained when you do a 'make' in /usr/ports/net/socks5 (which you will have to do anyway), and edit the Makefile to refer to the new filename. Then do a "make NOCHECKSUM=true install clean". If the new version doesn't compile out-of-the box, or any patches for the previous version fail to apply, you'll have to build it by hand.
