 > If not in gzip format, what format is the file in? What are its
 contents? I assume the bug does not exist as described; I assume you
 instead downloaded an HTML file, computed its checksums, and put them in
 the Portfile, which of course doesn't work.

 You are totally correct, as running strings on the partial file in the
 distfiles/ gives me an html file.  How I downloaded an html file and
 called it dbxml-2.5.16 --  I have no idea..  But thanks to pixilla's
 download link, I now have a completely working Portfile.  Is there a way
 to commit this working Portfile back to the main port list?  I based this
 port file off another uncommited portfile:

 Thanks!
