Maybe I'm just doing this completely wrong:
prime# portsnap update
Ports tree is already up to date.
prime# portsnap fetch
Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap3.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching snapshot metadata... done.

Fetching 4 metadata patches... done.
Applying metadata patches... done.
Fetching 4 metadata files...
[and so on]
Am I using this thing wrong?

Yup. 'portsnap fetch update' is the command I use-- the reverse
order that you're using 'em in.
Shouldn't I just need one of the two?
-Dan
Nope. fetch fetches the latest snapshot; update unpacks it. extract
does the ENTIRE snapshot again, but that's generally not needed after
the first time.
