Although his status is on portupgrade, not freebsd-update. Is there any way for me to build my own update server locally? I've tried web caching the data, but I have to be able to get all the data first.. (What the handbook mentions IIRC) Fetching 3299 files... ....10....20....30....40....50....60....70....80....90....100....110....120.. ..130....140....150....160....170 gunzip: (stdin): unexpected end of file ae47b8b528bdf1369c7779d0dd453364922c77f3993fd147486b952fdbe91634 has incorrect hash. At various points along the fetch on each try.
