Some ports have fairly large distfiles.  For some of these I am
probably happy to wait for my subscription CD.  For others, I would
like them sooner, but I'm concerned about the time to download.

If I have an older distfile, is there any rsync magic I can do to
reduce traffic?  If I've already got 80% of the distfile, it would
sure be nice to fetch only the changed bits...

Any chance of getting some of these files via an rsynchd server?
