doesn’t seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles

[ddevi]

Hi All. In general, when installing through ports any program/driver (especially Delta Chat), I get this error: ... doesn’t seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles. At the same time, when installing under limit increases the load on the RAM. I did not find solutions on the internet, so I would be glad if someone helps.
I am Russian, so I apologize in advance for my bad English.

I get this error: ... doesn’t seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles.

Ports automatically download their so-called 'distfiles' (the original sources) automatically, then they'll be saved in /usr/ports/distfiles. In your case, it tried to look for the file in /usr/ports/distfiles first (it doesn't exist yet, hence the 'error'), then proceeds to download the file on the next line Attempting to fetch ...... This is normal because you have a new system, never built those ports before, so /usr/ports/distfiles will be empty.
