Install package from local file

Just copy the files to the appropriate directory (${prefix}/var/db/ 
dports/distfiles/${portname}) -- you may find that you need to delete  
the *.TMP file there -- and it should all just work!  As for your  
download problems, I'd like to offer some suggestions, but I'm afraid  
my only suggestion is that you have a buggy install of curl  
somewhere, or perhaps of one of its dependencies.

Kind regards,
