It has seized at 65% and hasn't changed in 10 minutes. Currently I'm using portupgrade but experience the same behavior with portmaster as well.

Any ideas of something I could try?
 
If the remote site stops sending, there's not much that can be done. After you get tired of waiting, stop portupgrade with ctrl-C, make a note of the ports that couldn't be upgraded, and try it again. You can rebuild the problem port by hand, either trying make fetch or manually downloading the distfile if necessary.
 
Thank you, I was not aware that it was because the remote site had stopped sending. I've just started using portupgrade, sending a ctrl-c stopped the current build and went on to the next. I was not aware of this behavior, portmaster would have stopped completely.
I like it.
 
A list of ports that were missed will be shown at the end. Save that, make sure to go back and upgrade all of them, then check dependencies with pkgdb -F. portupgrade should not continue if an upgrade of a port fails and something farther down the list depends on it... but it might.
 
Is this behavior common? It seems to happen to me quite regularly, but I only experience the above on my home PC.

If it is common, is there a way to manipulate the program so that if it does encounter this behavior and sits dormant for x number min, that it can skip and move on the the next port?
 
Looking at it again, I begin to wonder if something isn't going on with your computer. If the remote system stalls when sending the distfile, the kBps value should keep updating. But such stalls don't happen often. And I'd expect to see fetch in the top output, but it's not there.
