Hi,

Maybe it's a naive question. When I install a package from ports, it often needs to fetch some files. But sometimes it takes a long time before finding an available server to fetch. I also notice that it will try the locations/urls one by one, however the order doesn't change (correct me if I'm wrong). So the very first server on the list will get a lot of traffic since everyone will fetch the files from it. Is there any way to let it randomly pick a url from the list to evenly distribute the traffic among all the servers?


Cheers,

Guoqin Ren
