Thank you matthew sporleder worked nice!

Mayuresh, have you tried FETCH_USING=aria2c -j16 or something like
this ? (based on matthew response)

 I know you can use it in individual packages so maybe it will just work.

 I was looking for something similar. Would an accelerator like aget or
 aria2 work? Perhaps the infrastructure would just pass URL to whatever
 command you right. (Or does it specifically understand some of the
 downloaders?)

 Currently, for large packages, I break the download, download those
 manually using aget and then make again.

pkgsrc use curl or wget

Hi,

Is possible make use curl or wget in make ?

fetch is terrible here, it have 2 bugs, first in files larger than 1mb
it hangs on +/- 99% and ETA say stalled I've searched about this and
apparently this occur when using a proxy, but the problem is that I'm
behind a transparent proxy (ISP's transparent proxy).
the second bug is the speed of downloads in fetch, it's speed is half
of wget or curl.

and finally, I personally prefer curl!
