I ahve bunch of not-so-fast computers (started with iP-II-266) on not-so-fast internet connections (from 256Kbit ADSL to 33.6 modem line). And when here are many ports to upgrade AND download (because it is not port revision change, but real upgrade of software) it will be much faster to download NEXT distfile for port to upgrade when build current one. > I think it's great, but I'm not sure I'll do it soon.
