> how i can limit bandwidth when i using 'make fetch' (make install in Ports)? I wrote a patch to fetch awhile back that does exactly this. That was with 4.x, but it might apply cleanly in 6. I ended up not using it, well cause once I had everything installed it didn't seem to matter so much. http://www.pjkh.com/~philip/fetch/ Basically it adds a "-L" option that takes the b/s to throttle it at... Then tweak um.. FETCH_ARGS or something close to that (man ports for info) to get the ports to pick it up automatically. -philip
