Sometimes when I do make fetch, I can't fetch the file:
zuntum@zunpc:/usr/pkgsrc/games/koth# make fetch
===> Validating dependencies for koth-0.7.6
=> koth-0.7.6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
=> Attempting to fetch koth-0.7.6.tar.gz from http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~tetron/koth/.

HTTP fetch aborted.
Nothing was fetched (distfile's size is 0):
zuntum@zunpc:/usr/pkgsrc/games/koth# ls -l /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/koth-0.7.6.tar.gz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Apr 17 01:37 /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/koth-0.7.6.tar.gz*
But "make fetch" is satisfied with the distfile and doesn't try to fetch it again:
zuntum@zunpc:/usr/pkgsrc/games/koth# make fetch
===> Validating dependencies for koth-0.7.6
zuntum@zunpc:/usr/pkgsrc/games/koth#
It would be nice if we could check if distfile's size == 0 && complain.
Just a wish :)
