Ok, then one would expect it to be fast... If it's not fast, just for you, then you could edit _resources/port1.0/fetch/mirror_sites.tcl and remove that URL from the kde group. If you're fetching your ports tree using rsync, then that change will be wiped out next time you sync; if you use Subversion to fetch your ports tree, then the change will persist indefinitely. If it's not fast, for all users, then we could commit that change. But perhaps first someone should talk to the maintainers of the server to figure out why and if it can be fixed.

Yes, that would be another option, if it's slow just for Marko. An entry could be added to /etc/hosts for example to point the server at a black hole. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
