I find file fetch is fairly slow esp. for sites like sf.net. port always
chooses mirror easynews which is slow for me and prone of timeout. I
checked /usr/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/portfetch.tcl (I use
/usr/local instead of /opt/local) and find file fetch uses curl. Since I
installed and tested axel, I find it's fairly good, about as fast as
prozilla (I have experience of using Gentoo which uses prozilla).
My question is how to hack portfetch.tcl to use axel instead. Sure
simply change curl to axel does not work.
Wish someone can help me. Thanks.
