The only downside is if DIST_SUBDIR is not set you get paths that don't look pretty, e.g.: ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles//some_distfile.tgz Instead, I added something to my /etc/make.conf similar to: .if defined(DIST_SUBDIR) DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=${DIST_SUBDIR}/ .else DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE= .endif MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE} -- Rick C.
