My system is 8.1-stable and portupgrade looks at
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-stable
No sure what is packages-8-stable, shouldn't it be the same?

System should at least have binaries of all packages that are required 
to install kde4/gnome/firefox/thunderbird -- major x11 environments and 
programs people use.
