FETCH_USING and FETCH_CMD

Hi,
I have a problem understanding how to properly use alternative agents for downloading distfiles. For a package that I am updating (sysutils/tsm8), the default 'fetch' corrupts the distfile (which, after half a GB of download, is rather annoying, and it doesn't help that the libarchive tar(1) reacts with an endless stream of errors, unlike gtar), when a manual fetch with curl(1) does not.
According to <https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/faq.html#resume-transfers>, you are supposed to set FETCH_USING to your preferred agent, leaving it open whether this is a global (mk.conf) setting, or per-package, or both.
<http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=44396>, on the other hand, talks about 'manual' and 'custom' settings for FETCH_USING. 

Setting
FETCH_USING= curl
FETCH_CMD= curl

for tsm8 leads to

Stop.

-- so, obviously I am doing it wrong. Examples in the source tree are scarce. 

Can anybody enlighten me?

Cheerio,
