snapshot corrupt message

[voxel]

Hello all ^^)

trying to make a portsnap fetch update today I found 22 new patches, however portsnap(8) is blocking on the 18th patch with this message:

fetching 4 new ports or files... gunzip: unknown compression format snapshot is corrupt.

What happened? And how to workaround this?

Thanks,
Amigalement,
JF Voxel

Me too...
[CMD=]portsnap fetch[/CMD] worked some hours ago, but now I get the same error message.

Seems to be a common problem.

I think the file is corrupt on the server and needs to be fixed there. All I can say is try again in a few hours.
