I had the same problem and that ftp is too slow for me. I changed the
MASTER_SITES like this (below) to fetch those files better and faster.
=============================
-MASTER_SITES= ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/src/ \
- ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE}
+MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE} \
+ ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/src/
=============================
I think, we should change that in png port because sourceforge.net has
plenty of mirrors.
Cheers,
