Makes sense.

But just got this:

Code: 
Applying patches... done.
Fetching 24092 new ports or files... gunzip: (stdin): unexpected end of file
snapshot is corrupt.
22:21 nitrogen#

Any ideas?

PS. Remember to read the ports/UPDATING before you do anything. if you have anything major installed like kde4 and it's been two months you may end up in a situation like mine. due to pcre, imageshack and some other updates you will be better off just backing up your system and doing a full reinstall or not updating anything. seriously it will ask you to recompile most of your system when it gets done factoring in dependencies.
 
I had the same problem on one of my servers. I just deleted all portsnap files and ports, and then installed a new snapshot:
Code: 
# rm /var/db/portsnap/tag
# rm -rf /var/db/portsnap/files
# rm -rf /usr/ports
# portsnap fetch extract
