With portsnap, I don't need a URL. It's built in. And that would be
nice.

I'm sure there are.

What does it need a public key for?

No, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking (on behalf of many people,
I'm sure) just what I have to enter instead of:

  $ portsnap fetch extract

It's probably more than one command, and/or longer. I just thought it
would be useful if everyone was told exactly what to use.
