I think that I speak for many of us here when I say that I have no idea what you are talking about when you discuss "clicking" on a "port". The conventional way to build a port is cd /usr/ports/catagory/port and then do a make or make download or whatever. Do you mean that if you "make download" it's not downloading? Or are you using some special client application to install ports? If so, details of what application you are using to view the ports would be enlightening. > That is, a tar of the directory containing the > Makefile, distinfo, files dir, and so on. > what I am getting instead is an open ftp client waiting inside that > directory.
