Forcing passive mode for fetch (FETCH_CMD=/usr/bin/fetch -ARpr) doesn't help. Repeating the 'make fetch' command manually multiple times in the ports directory usually solves the problem; but sometimes only the ftp client would work. Sometimes, "fetch: transfer timed out" also appear, but usually, only the first few KB get transferred. This is a random error, which doesn't always happen, but for that ftp server often enough to wedge the "Big Update" :( I have an MTU of 1460, as recommended by the ISP, and using another FreeBSD box, running pf, as a router; also with the correct MTU on all interfaces, so this can't be the problem. Why, oh why, is fetch b0rked? ;-) That's on a 5.4-PRERELEASE system from March 9th. Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
