Make it easier and less frequent to get timeouts when downloading with pkgutils.
Sourceforge is not very reliable so I choose to pick a mirror myself.
Add a line like this to /etc/hosts
211.29.132.142 download.sourceforge.net download.sf.net dl.sourceforge.net dl.sf.net
You can also add mirrors to /etc/pkgmk.conf, where pkgmk will check for the sources first. This can be used to set up a local distfile cache:
PKGMK_SOURCE_MIRRORS=(http://fileserver.localnet)
pkgmk expects a flat directory directly containing all the source files, i.e. without subdirectories
