About a month ago I saw a problem where many of the packaged ports disappeared from the main and mirror ftp sites. I didn't have time to drop a message then, and just compiled them myself. However I'm seeing this problem again today. And it isn't just this one package -- numerous items that appear in the ports searches are missing.
