make fetch all distfiles autoskip

Hello,

I am attempting to download all ports via

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/ && make fetch

This works, but every time I reach a port that requires accepting a license or that must be downloaded externally, the whole process stops.

What I want is a way to TRY to download all ports (skipping failed ports) and logging the ones that don't work. Perhaps piping error output to a log file?

The first step is continuing the download process when there is a failure (I can figure out the logging later).
 
from man make:
Code: 
-k  Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on
  those targets that do not depend on the target whose creation
  caused the error.

That will fetch every distfile for every port. Don't do that, it's a terrible waste of time, space, and bandwidth.

To avoid configuration dialogs, see ports(7) about the BATCH variable. Better is to use ports-mgmt/portmaster to install the leaf ports. It will fetch all the distfiles in parallel, then show all the configuration dialogs before the build begins.

That's what I wanted to do: fetch every distfile, for every port.

Yes, thanks for the BATCH suggestion- I actually got that on my own.

Code: 
make -v -k fetch BATCH=YES TRYBROKEN=1 DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=YES

Total download size was ~77 GB ( du -sh /usr/ports/distfiles)
