I didn't override it because I didn't know how. I've defined FETCH_CMD in the environment before but I've never messed with mk.conf. I put in literally what you said, but _PROGRESS and FTP_KEEPALIVE seem to be undefined. I'm experimenting now using wget but here's a run from trying to install

Try some of these ideas. Change the config of pf to conservative or high-latency (man pf.conf). Use dpb to download the distfiles: /usr/ports/infrastructure/bin/dpb -F 2 lang/tcl/8.5 (man -m /usr/ports/infrastructure/man dpb) Change the ports framework to download the distfiles first from the

I'd seen this happen in 5.6 too, but I just caught an example of it in 5.7. My connection leaves a lot to be desired, but there's nothing I can do about that. I normally have FETCH_CMD set to use wget once I get it installed but this was in doing a standard make install of a port. The first
