Hello, I am a newbie to FreeBSD world. :)
I got a task to port Java to a private-built FreeBSD system which is branched from FreeBSD 8.2. As a start of this, I tried to learn port stuffs, and did 'portsnap fetch' but failed. After that, I tried to change portsnap server, and I even tried a generic FreeBSD 8.2 version, which failed too with merely the same error. Here is what I got in most of the cases (not totally the same for each time, but I suppose they are familiar): ========================== # portsnap fetch Looking up us.portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 6 mirrors found. Fetching public key from your-org.portsnap.freebsd.org... done. Fetching snapshot tag from your-org.portsnap.freebsd.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... ahdone.

Server data corrupted? Or anyone knows what might be the problem here? Thanks.
