Solved Is it possible to download ports as a zip file manually? (not portsnap..)

Hi All,

It seems for now Freebsd FreeBSD is using AWS EC2 servers to host freebsd FreeBSD related ports..

Due to AWS is blocked by GFW in China, now there is no way for us to download the latest ports...

Is it possible to download the ports manually as a zip file? Then I can download it and send it to my friends in China.

Thanks

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/ports/ports/ seems to have a recent snapshot of the ports tree.
