Thanks, I've tried what is suggested in
http://www.netbsd.org/guide/en/chap-fetch.html#chap-fetch-tarball-pkgsrc-stable

And in /pub/pkgsrc/2005Q2 I found following files:

-------r--     13705564   Mar 23 23:46   pkgsrc-2005Q1.tar.bz2
-------r--     18861491   Mar 23 23:46   pkgsrc-2005Q1.tar.gz
-------r--     18978843   Jul  1 20:23   pkgsrc.tar.gz

confusing, don't you think?

Also, some of your examples assume use of csh. Wouldn't a Bourne shell be
better? Is it a consistent policy in the guide?

Also, shouldn't the "Downloading tarballs" be listed as first? It is
probably much faster and friendlier to the mirrors, so it should be IMHO
preferred.
