 The hard-coded port# in the download URL is very unfortunate (I checked  
 with limewire.com, it's indeed the URL they use):
 Our firewall doesn't allow connections to port 82, and our Squid is  
 unwilling to connect to low ports for equal reasons.
 Many people will have the same problem, and since it is marked as  
 RESTRICTED, the distfile won't be mirrored by freebsd.org.
 Is there any workaround? At least somebody should complain to them.
