Maybe you were misunderstanding me because of my bad english.:( I did not mean that I would not download source codes from Internet, but download it from another site. Take installing vim for example, after I type "make install" in /usr/ports/editors/vim, Freebsd will try to download files from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org. However, I want to let it download from ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org. How to make it ? Thank you.
