I just saw another good reason to hit ctrl-C. I'm on a modem, and I just
hit boost_1_42_0.tar.gz in an install. That's 40 megs, more than I can
download in a day. I need to use a different process, like put the url in
a text file and feed it to wget with --continue -i <file>
So I hit ctrl-C, and that got me out of downloading from the first site,
only to start downloading from another, then another. What I really
wanted was to be able to copy a working url and paste it into a text file.

I try make fetch on a port, it fails due to a bad site. I hit Ctrl-C to stop
it, it goes to the next site and downloads the file. Then it deletes the
file when it finishes. I type make install and it tries the bad site
again...
