Description Walter von Entferndt 2015-03-30 21:04:00 UTC 
When a 'pkg fetch' or 'pkg update' fails or gets interrupted, e.g. because of an unstable network link, it fetches partly downloaded files completely on the next run.  It would be desirable to skip to the file's position where it previously left off and fetch only the missing parts.
Comment 1 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-04-06 12:00:11 UTC 
This has been implemented in pkg 1.5 should be released soon
Comment 2 Walter von Entferndt 2015-04-22 15:29:40 UTC 
I now have pkg-1.5.1 and it still fetches partly downlowded files from the start (completely) again iff the previous fetch failed.
Comment 3 Dag-Erling Smørgrav freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-12-17 18:59:53 UTC 
I would suggest submitting this upstream (https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues) with more details.
Comment 4 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-12-17 19:01:49 UTC 
It has been mplemented in the meantime
Comment 5 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-12-17 19:07:38 UTC 
ok I figured I should have added comments here:

the one that are refetched from start are the one that has been probably rebuilt so the name of the package is the same, but the package (file) is different (as we do not have reproducible builds yet)
