MacPorts drops the connection if the server sends less than 1 KB/s over the time of 1 minute. These are hardcoded values: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/5a22d58/src/pextlib1.0/curl.c#L58-L59 > So I have two questions: > - is there a way to disable mirroring? There is no way to disable all mirrors. The options preferred_hosts and host_blacklist in macports.conf can be used to configure preferred mirrors or to avoid specific mirrors, respectively. However, I do not think this would help in your case. > - if not how can I manually copy the package file in the /opt filesystem > in order to skip the fetch process? You can copy the distfiles manually to the expected location: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#fetch-failures Rainer
