MacPorts & High-speed Connection
Is there any configuration to let MacPorts know that it's on a high- speed bandwidth and it can start downloading everything it needs all at once and then get on with installing later?

man port(1) and look at the fetch option. Don't know if it does exactly what you want. fetch Fetches the distribution files required to build portname. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>

But it does not fetch recursively, if that is what was expected.
There are some tickets to improve upon that, though: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/2421 (request) http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11446 (patch) Maybe they should be added ? (they're from DP 1.3.20) --anders
