I'm wondering in which way I can know all the URLs of the sources to download it with a download manager an port it manually later on the installation progress. > Might something like: portupgrade -NFR do the trick? It will install a 'new' port (one not already on the system), fetch only, and grab dependencies as well. You say your not connected all the time. But you could run the above command (or something similar I would think) when connected and it would grab a distfile and place it in /usr/ports/distfiles for you. If you don't finish while connected.... just run the command next time you are, and it will pick up where it left off.
