And for ports, you can add the following in make.conf to make the ports prefer http servers for distfiles: MASTER_SORT_REGEX?= ^http:// (Incidentally I used to do this because my ISP favoured http over ftp in its traffic shaping) If you have direct access to an http proxy (webcache), you can also try setting http_proxy in the environment. This allows ftp urls to be requested over http, if the proxy supports it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
