No, here's the slice where it's downloading to with 137G free:

/dev/ad4s1f    175G     24G    137G    15%    /usr

Well, this is strange, because no other downloads have this issue,
including diablo-jdk16, and I update my ports nearly every day. I'm
not really sure why that one would be a problem, or why it would
consistently download the same size file several times which fails the
checksum each time. I don't have enough time to investigate further at
the moment, but will try again when I have time. Thanks for the help.
