Running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #0, i386 P3-667MHz, 512MB RAM. This is my first experience using portupgrade. I ran cvsup successfully for ports-all. I ran pkg_version -v. It showed a total of 28 ports, 20 needed updating. Of those, 16 were xorg- ports; the others were xterm, freetype2, imake and png. I ran portupgrade -a -N -vu -rR, and it tried several times to fetch X11R6.8.1-src1.tar.gz, each time taking over an hour, and when the file failed, it failed showing a checksum mismatch. I tried it again today, and it was able to fetch the three remaining files. SLOW. I have a DSL connection, and usually see 1.5MB speeds or more. Two of the files came in at 6kBps, one at 26 kBps. This Portupgrade session, including downloading the files detailed below, took 3 hours and 38 minutes; 1.5 hours was spent just downloading the three files. >From the script file of the session: => X11R6.8.1-src(#).tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/xorg. => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.1/tars/ files fetched and time for download: file size end speed time X11R6.8.1-src1.tar.gz 29MB 6510 Bps 80 min X11R6.8.1-src6.tar.gz 3106kB 6298 Bps 8 min X11R6.8.1-src2.tar.gz 5672kB 26 kBps 4 min I have two questions: -Is this typical to see such slow download speeds and for the portupgrade process to take so much time? -I didn't install xorg. Why are the 16 xorg ports present? Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, California USA
