portupgrade: the -P options rarely works

Hi all,
I’ve noticed that using the -P option with portupgrade, which should  
try to fetch the binary version of a package rarely works. Most of  
the times it tries to fetch the package from the freebsd site, it  
fails and then proceed to build it from the sources.
While I can expect from to time that a pre-compiled version of a  
package to be unavailable, it surprises me to see this so many times.


Thank you
