 Is there an easy way to skip a particular distfile mirror that, say, wants

try adding RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES= yes to /etc/make.conf as well.

I love this port!
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/ports-mgmt/fastest_sites/

Parses bsd.sites.mk, and uses it to generate data for fastest mirrors, then
uses it
for installations :)

Perfect!  Simple, elegant, and I even have a special zone for certain
