Description Matthias Buelow 2004-09-29 05:20:21 UTC 
      I think I've seen this before.
The mplayer port pops up a nice dialog box, giving you a selection,
which "skins" to install.
I always select only the default one (I don't f*cking care about a "skin").
Then, as if to mock me, it starts to download _all_ skin files.
Of course, since the mplayer guys like to tinker with the skins,
you have at least a handful or more which do not match what the port
expects.
Resulting in the port trying various servers serially, with timeouts etc. etc.
This is highly annoying.  Please fix the port to download only those
skins that are actually requested.  Or omit the skins totally.  The
user can easily install these seperately.

Thanks.

How-To-Repeat:       Install multimedia/mplayer from ports.

Forwarded PR to maintainer. 
Note that solving this problem in general requires probably 
intrusive changes into the build-system. 
Your welcome to submit patches, though :)
