A part of my work I do at home were I have very weak connection via dialup (< 24kbps) and even at work I have to fight with problems with fetch from ftp due to firewall restrictions. So probably its time to check more thoroughly why I have problems with my proxy :-) May be I also should check some docs, probably it is possible to type smth and get a list of files that I need to download at work manualy and put them into distfiles at home ... rik > Scott > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
