In these days I installed and reinstalled a lot of ports, I suspect there is something wrong in portmaster or the ports system. I have a slow Internet connection, so downloading port sources like netbeans, openjdk, kde-oxygen-icons, firefox and such, is a pain. When possible I download them separately, however if, for example, I aunch a pre-compiling command like
# portmaster -F category/port I see many fetch instances with the same port source with different source location (URL) and the downloading process becomes very slow as they get downloaded twice. The command I use to see fetch processes is ps -w -x -o command | egrep '^/.*/fetch', also looking at networks stats with systat -ifstat start 1 the downloading is at full speed. Does anyone have the same suspect?
