Hi all, The submitter of ports/174427 tells me that using http for mirrors is faster, due to the lack of authentication etc. I'm not convinced that the speed difference is huge, but can anyone think of any reasons not to apply this patch? It will affect large numbers of ports. Chris http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=174427
