I used to but now a days, I like to use CVS to download pkgsrc. First, I add
the following line to my .cshrc:


setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot


Note: You can either log out and log in for this to take effect, or run
"source ~/.cshrc"

I then run the following commands:

# cd /usr
# cvs login (password is "anoncvs")
# cvs checkout -P pkgsrc

If needed, you can also enable compression with the following command:

# cvs -z 5 checkout -P pkgsrc


Good luck!
