That won't help.  The default FETCH_CMD for the ports tree is fetch(1),
which (by default) deletes aborted download fragments.  This is (just
one) of the reasons why I use pftp as my FETCH_CMD.  However, I wouldn't
recommend that for novice userse, since aborted downloads present their
own problems if not deleted. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
