If you can find the file on a faster site, you can download it and put it in /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/i386/fedora/10/ and restart the OpenBox build, or you can put these two settings in /etc/make.conf: MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?=3D \ ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=3D ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP} Change the "uk" to point to a site near to your geographical location. With these lines, your ports system will first look for distfiles on the FreeBSD mirror site, and will only go to the MASTER_SITE in a port's Makefile if the FreeBSD site doesn't have the required file. This is sometimes faster than going to the MASTER_SITE first. Or, as RW suggested, try setting RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES.
