I guess a lot of us connect via expensive dial up ?
& sometimes we need to be connected to do something interactive,
but we can see the modem lights not blinking much, & know we're wasting
expensive bandwidth .... ?

Then would be a good time to have some kind of 
	"cd /usr/ports ; make fetch_all_distfiles_i_don't_have_yet"
type of functionality.
