I've been running portsnap fetch all weekend. "Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching public key from portsnap.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up.
 
Does your resolving work? What is the output of [cmd=]host portsnap.FreeBSD.org[/cmd] and/or [cmd=]dig portsnap.FreeBSD.org[/cmd]
?
 
Thanks for your responses. Apparently, while fooling around with a new domain name... I... well, I fixed this by adding defaultrouter= statement to rc.conf. Yes, I use a router but funny is that I could install a port..but I couldn't run portsnap. Well, anyway it's fixed. Thanks, keith.

If the port's distfile already exists in /usr/ports/distfiles/ the port will build without having to download anything.
 
And some ports are so small that they have the needed files onboard (i.e. in the ports tree itself).
