Any help? It looks to be a bug in phttpget, which is a download utility used by portsnap and freebsd-update. It supports pipelining, so it's very fast at fetching a large number of small files, but in all other respects it simpler and less mature than fetch. As temporary workaround I would suggest you backup portsnap and change the line: PHTTPGET=/usr/libexec/phttpget to PHTTPGET=/usr/bin/fetch _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
