Ok, more comments.

It tries to fetch files, where the package Makefile have this:

do-fetch:
        @if ${TEST} \! -f ${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}; then \
                ${ECHO} "===> You need to request a password on ${HOMEPAGE}"; \
                ${ECHO} "     and fetch on your own source file."; \
                exit 1; \
        fi

Thats from audio/simian.

And runing that script produce this:

Requesting http://weewave.mer.utexas.edu/MED_files/CODE_RQST/simian_12_98.tar.gz
  (via 127.0.0.1:3128)
401 Unauthorized
Username for `CLUB': 

Now, you don't get the echo message from the package Makefile.

I guess that would be also a problem for other packages which have such
targets (fetching a distfile manually).

And what about adding the file size to the

# Fetch simian_12_98.tar.gz:
#

lines?
